Setting up an inheritance or last will

In the will You need to decide to whom the library should be transferred. You can either trust a private person to take care of this (cheapest solution) or a lawyer (I expect this to be very expensive) or perhaps some funeral office (should be cheaper than a lawyer).
(Personally, I don't currently have anyone to whom to give my library.)

Is there a way, or maybe, as a suggestion, shouldn't there be a way to:

Bequeath my Logos account to somebody when I die? A "last will and testament".

It's interesting I just today put this question to my favorite sales rep., he informed me that if I transfer while I am still living there is a nominal fee to stipulate he quoted $30, but stated he wasn't sure of this. The other alternative he mentioned was a will which transferred ownership without a fee.

I ran this by my sister who is an atty she told me a will is unnecessary and a simple letter stating my intentions would suffice she advised me to find out what the process would be as far as Faithlife would be. In other words how would the heir establish ownership. I will clarify this with my rep or someone in customer service tomorrow. Then I will put it with my important papers in an unlocked fireproof strong box for my son to inherit upon my passing. 

However for americans that should wish to have a will, but don't. My parents, and my grandmother used Legalzoom. 

My grandmother set up a trust about a decade before she passed away. 

My parents have something a lot simpler. I don't know my grandmothers costs, but for my parents it was somewhere in the neighborhood of 30$ to have a will that covers all of their wishes drawn up. 

Below I attach the email I received:

Thank you for contacting us.

Logos Licenses can be transferred from one user to another. The transfer fee is $20, payable by either party before the transfer can be performed. We waive the license transfer fee in the event of a death. For legality’s sake, we need a few things in writing (or email) from the person to whom the software is currently registered. Please provide the following information:

·         The name and contact information of the current user:

·         The name and contact information (address, phone and email) of the recipient:

·         The Order number(s), product name(s) or Serial Number(s) being transferred:

Note: Licenses can only be transferred individually if they were sold individually, meaning if the book being transferred was sold as part of a larger package (e.g. “Scholar’s Library), the entire package will be transferred. Once transferred, items may not be transferred again. 


If you email me this information, along with your phone number, I will be able to handle your request.
Please let me know if you have any questions.


Sincerely,

XXXXX

Just to attest that this process works:

My Uncle passed away last year and this week, I found out that he has bequeathed me all his Logos licenses. USD 33,000 worth! 20 GB is being downloaded now as we speak!!!!

My Aunt is quite elderly and needed some help, so I sent the death certificate, logged into his account, and exported the order history CSV.  These were sent to Logos together with the current account and recipient account details.

Then my Aunt got me to draft her an authorization note that she could send and voila all done within 24 hours. 

Here's a shout-out to Logos for this heartwarming service and promptness too.

Thanks.  The post with the instructions was 10 years old now and I thought sharing my experience might help people decide whether it still held.
