Who gets what , when your dead

interesting article in the Daily Telegraph
Rise of 'Vulture Syndrome' blamed for increase in disputes between family members over wills - Telegraph

seems there has been a big increase in law-suits/litigation over the estates of the dearly departed family members .

So the question is ....have you sorted out who gets what , or are you of the opinion , "let them sort/fight it out between themselves " or maybe "I've got nowt to leave anyway " .

Guess most folks have got a will written out somewhere , divi-ing it up any money equally amongst your off-spring after the funeral and any debts have been paid off .

Just wondering how you sort out "family momentoes" stuff that won't/shouldn't be binned ..ie ...Grandads and Great Grandads war medals ...do they go to the eldest , regardless of sex or the first born son , or even first born Grandson . (must add , not requesting advice) or stuff like Grandmas hand embroidered tablecloths ( do younger folks know what a table cloth is ? ) or family photos .........should this stuff be sorted out early , and how early ?

Or have your kids allready snapped all the good stuff allready before the others lay claim

Okay , just wondering how other "older" Accy web users are/have dealt with this sort of situation
