This subject comes up from time to time, and it is worth considering. The idea of having a ham friend known to the family who could help with disposition is a very good idea. There is another, which I have mentioned before with the same caveat as now -- I can't give legal advice about estates and the like on a reflector, but I would suggest anyone who knows where they would like their gear to go -- to a school or a club or a friend or a family member, for example -- might ask their lawyer or whoever does their estate planning about something called a "Memorandum Disposition of Personal Property." It may have different names in different states, but it's generally available -- and in my view worth knowing about.

OTOH, I know someone who bought a like-new KX3, fully equipped with all
options, at an estate auction for $215.00.
Some newbie ham got a "hand-up" getting started in HF with that deal.
