There are a couple of questions here which need to be addressed in my humble opinion.

1. Make sure that your Partner/Wife is happy with your collecting. I have known of partners who have tried to convince the local police that their partner is "about to do something nasty with their items" I will leave you to imagine what was suggested, but happily that particular collector had believable backing to dispute the intended assertion! However BEWARE!!

2. Regarding disposal of your collection upon your death or illness,make sure that the collection is mentioned in your Will AND that the disposal is entrusted to a reliable person who is familiar with what you collect AND the value of the collection. Beneficaries CAN fleece the survivor IF that person is not aware of the true value of items.
