It is important that your will is signed, witnessed and notarized in order to avoid unnecessary controversey. Some individuals like to leave a memorandum noting distribution of some objects. However, it is important to go through the formalities required of a valid will to make sure your wishes are followed.
At her death in 1997, Princess Diana left a detailed will, naming her sister and mother as executors. She also wrote a separate "letter of wishes" asking her executors, at their discretion, to divide her belongings among her sons and her 17 godchildren. But instead of getting stuff worth over $100,000, each godchild got the equivalent of a trinket. If you want someone to have somethng special do not rely on others to do it for you, provide for it in your will.
