Neil Gaiman (wonderful fantasy/fiction/uncataloguable author, with quite an interesting blog) has an long-standing campaign to convince creative people to make a will, for exactly this purpose, so that one's intellectual property (as opposed to boxes of origami paper and the like) gets used/distributed/cared-for in the future. Here's the post from his blog: http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2006/10/important-and-pass-it-on.html Everyone should have a will. As Gaiman says, it's not just about who gets your old blue jeans, particularly if you've got art that's just going to vanish with you if no one knows it's there! Anne
