Does your wife know the value of your "stuff" in the event of your passing?

If my wife finds out how much it's all worth i'd probably be dead It'd be sort of a catch 22 situition

 

I am single (old man) and therefor have only close relations, brothers and sisters.

-They have no clue and there is more here than just cars and parts, much much more....

And it Doesn't matter anyway, it's all going to a good charity, the will is made and the mind is set.

Will the Peoples Gospel Hour know what to do with it?

I Don't know and I won't be around to find out how they make out.

Sorry for your loss. That was quick.

This has happened to two guys in our car club. The club stepped up and helped the widows. Fair value was agreed upon on all items then the widows put it up for sale. Worked out well.

 

You would think that I informed my wife of my car & parts values, since I'm helping a deceased buddy's wife sell off his tools and stuff; but no would be my answer. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Sorry, to hear about your friend.

 

Do you know the value of your wife`s stuff? It goes both ways.

 

My missus had no idea untill she saw the insurance valuations. It will all go to my eldest son, the only one to take any interest and pleasure from hotrodding.

 

I have got a deal with my best friend, he who dies last has to take care of the garage of his mate....
But what happens to his garage? get a best friend again!

 

same as mean lean, i have an agreement with my best friend to take care of each others stuff. i'm worth more dead than alive!

 

My wife hasn't a clue. I'm hiding many parts in secret places so she won't give me a hard time about (junk)? in my garage. Come to think about it. The only people who know what it is worth are HAMB'ers. Hey, at 61...I could go at any time!

 

Nope all junk to her as far as she's concerned ,So If I die Show up at my house ............

 

Sorry about your Pal....

You have a good thread going tho . You know , i never put much thought into it . I have to sons who will get everything as long as she doesnt need the money . I also have a brother that knows close values but not dead on . Youve put this in my head now . Ill fill her in so she is in the know.

 

Yes she knows what my cars are worth. HRP

 

Yes ... and HRP and I have a pact ...
If I go he helps my wife and if he goes I help Mrs HRP.

My wife of 36 years has been around the DEUCE world for a long time.
She knows the value of most of the Deuce stuff
And with a little help. do allright on the REST

 

As morbid as this may sound (I'm 37), I'm in the slow process of making a catalog of my stuff in a three ring binder with plastic dividers/etc and have descriptions and have the parts labeled (got a fancy label maker) with current dated value and personal value, especially since I have 2 garages (1 a rental from my cousin and the other on my parents property)...

Sorry to hear about your friend...

 

If my wife knew it might be the reason for my p***ing...

They should put that doctor in jail or hang him..Had a brother go like that...Damn doctors.

 

There was no way he could have been saved, his problems were very deep within his brain. Even had he lived he would not have been able to recover at all. It would be equally sad and just as devastating to his family. A vessel in your brain just bursts, at any time, at any age, and you are done. You don't even need to be exerting yourself, you could be watching TV, reading a book or driving to work. By the time they put him in the machine to look he was gone. Tony, sorry about your brother.

 

with internet today not sure it's really as much an issue to disclose it all out, anyone remotely familar with a computer can find out value of things in the event they needed to know, if your wife isn't computer savy i'm sure anyone of the 12 year old kids in your family could look up value of items.

 

Nope............and I wont tell!! HA HA It wont matter to me if Im gone, and someone will get a helluva deal.

 

Sorry about your friend, my wife knows the value of the cars, and is far more computer savvy than I am for the rest.

 

Very sorry to hear of the p***ing of your friend, it's certainly a wake up call. We recently moved into a new house when I retired in May, and I got rid of a LOT of stuff I've been ac***ulating over the years. The stuff I've kept has been listed and has a value attached, but the majority of it will be p***ed down to my son.....

 

This is a very thought provoking thread. Anyone who has ever delt with a loved one p***ing knows it's sometimes a "Big Process" trying to decide what to do with and/or who gets their stuff. My wife doesn't know what all my stuff is, although she has a better idea than most. Also, she knows quite a bit about the outlay of cash it took to aquire this stuff .... it affected our check book! As for it's worth - it's only worth what someone's willing to pay.

 

If she knew the value of my rides I'm afraid my "p***ing" just might be sooner than later..........................

 

My wife knows what the cars are worth, the antiques not so much, but would not let them go..the boys get them...

 

My wife hasn't been out to my garage since I turned our dishwasher into a lawn mower.

That's the only time she has been out to my garage now that I think about it.

 

I've thought about the same thing....but for now I don't want her to know what I have invested into the garage haha!

 

I gave my wife and boys a good guess on the value of my cars and parts, I even showed them where parts to what are last few years I've been writing on the parts what they are or the car they go to. I'm trying to put the cars and parts together so they don't go to the crusher.
neighbor lady was giving my wife **** that i work on these old cars, so i told her what these old junk piles were worth

 

The main thing to do is make sure you have a will! You can add a list at any time of what stuff you want to go to who and the approximate value of stuff they need to sell. I took care of mine after my heart attack.

 

i don't have a wife, but i have a girlfriend that soon will be who wouldn't sell it any ways, why sell something she'll need for her projects?
the expiences will be covered by the bank account i already have for that, it's stocked with enough to cover any taxes and costs of my p***ing no matter the inflation, and it's getting added to just incase.
hey, i know i won't live forever, i'm not sane enough.
