“My jewellery to my daughter” is how families end up not speaking
Specific bequests for *tangible personal property* (rings, watches, art, china, tools, the cabin canoe) are where wills generate the most family tension. Vague descriptions and silent assumptions drive every estate-litigation cliché.
Many US states allow a separate signed memorandum of tangible personal property referenced by the will — that's exactly the document this sheet produces. Update it without re-signing the will, and date each version.
Photo + location is the practical glue. A grandmother's brooch with a photo and *“velvet box, top shelf, master closet”* is impossible to mistake; “the brooch to Anna” without those is an argument waiting.
Templates only — not legal advice. Whether a state recognises the separate memorandum, and whether your will references it correctly, are jurisdictional. Pair this page with the Will Drafting Worksheet above and confirm with counsel.
