Thinking ahead...

I don't know if I am overthinking this, but it is something that is worrying me. My husband has lots and lots of stuff (hundreds of cameras, hundreds of books and hundreds of cd's)
I am fairly minimalist.
He won't part with anything. If he dies before me I have no idea what I will do with all of his things - quite a few of his cameras are worth thousands of pounds. If I die first I don't think he will part with anything. My daughter is our Executor and it doesn't feel fair to leave all of this to her.
What should I do? I've tried talking to him to no avail.

Worry about it when it happens, it’s just stuff, but it’s his stuff and makes him happy.

Poor you ethelwashere that gives you no time at all. A big skip?
Is your DM still alive?
I couldn't do a thing while DH was alive. He refused to engage in any discussion.
A df whose FiL died has taken 4 years to clear his flat
They wanted to find the right place for the books some of which were hundreds of years old
