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.
Well that makes sense. All the moneys have already been allocated via the beneficiaries portion of my bank accounts. I've given my father a list of what accounts I have but I should probably do the same for my brother. Fingers crossed he won't actually lose that information too
