I would just give my brother all my crap and he can do whatever he wants with it. he'll take my camper I'm sure without a doubt even if it does have semi high miles. The rest is trivial things like a camera and an old snowboard a surfboard that kind of stuff nothing super important.
Then you could make him the executor of the will, and the recipient of the assets.
That's a good idea. What I have to list all the assets I would imagine so. Three hard drives, two computers, a snowboard, mountaineering gear, and a surfboard. That's pretty much it, shouldn't take long.
It's up to you how far you want to go listing things, but remember that as those assets are replaced you'd need to update your will. I am not a lawyer, but I'd suggest specifically listing long-lasting tangible assets by name (investments, real property, etc.) and the rest as "you have the authority to dispose of remaining assets as you see fit, including keeping them."
Listing transitory items like computing equipment may find you changing your will every time you buy a new hard drive.
