It makes a whole lot of sense. Get it notarized or have it as a supplement to will. my grandmother's sewing machine (treadle) no one knows the location of it. My mother's, I found a photo the other day and the person who said she had it, it's not the same unless they put it into another cabinet and I doubt it. Oh Well! Can't find my mother's jewelry, just hoping certain people don't have it. Just want it to stay in the family. go to the grands (my kids and niece's and nephews.)
