A dear friend of mine passed a week or so ago. He lived alone and had no will. Yes the State stepped in, wasted no time. His funeral was today. Rest his Soul. I found out today they already cleaned out his house and are auctioning his basses, guitars, keyboards, amps, etc etc etc this SATURDAY in a city 60 miles away!!! WTF is up with that?
He had an original Moog synth-- an original Arp synth- one of those old Ampeg 18 inch bass amps with the tubes and transformer that is hinged-- a near mint 73 Jazz-- a 68 Jazz-- a 73 Tele-- old Fender amps-- trumpets, just all kinds of misc PA stuff. . Fortunatly he was able to sell his hammond B3 before he passed to another good friend.
He had a big stash of cash the state got- he was kind of a shut in. He was a good hearted guy but no one ever talked to him about a will. Unfortunately his mom passed a few years ago and she didn't have a will either. He had to spend allot to settle things with her estate by hiring a lawyer. I think if he had understood what was going to happen if he left this world he would have made a will.... No I don't want the stuff. I have my own. I'll make sure I have a will now though so my family won't be left out ...ya know" ???

Sad. Thanks for sharing, a will is something that people think they don't need because they won't die, or if they make a will they will

All that great equipment is gone and no one around here that knew him even got a chance to try and buy any of it. It's odd the lawyer doing the estate thing had an auction 60 miles away a week after my friend passed. :?: :?: :?: :?:

Not if you don't make a will or a trust or something. :(
