There is a statement in my will (I'll have to look up the exact text) that allows me to draw up a separate document detailing how I want various personal items disposed of, and states that the executor must honor it. I think the document has to be signed and dated, but not notarized.
Since it's a separate document, I can change it at any time by just revising it - I don't have to mess with a codicil or a new will. So, say I've stipulated that my badge should go back to nationals, then my daughter calls and tells me she's just pledged AEPhi - I can revise the document right away to say that she gets my pin.
Not sure if this is acceptable in other states/provinces/countries, but it's worth looking into.
BTW - AEPhi's badges and guards can only be ordered through nationals.
