     524.2-513 Separate writing identifying bequest of 
  tangible property.  

    A will may refer to a written statement or list to dispose 
 of items of tangible personal property not otherwise 
 specifically disposed of by the will, other than money, 
 evidences of indebtedness, documents of title, and securities, 
 and property used in trade or business.  To be admissible under 
 this section as evidence of the intended disposition, the 
 writing must either be in the handwriting of the testator or be 
 signed by the testator and must describe the items and the 
 devisees with reasonable certainty.  The writing may be referred 
 to as one to be in existence at the time of the testator's 
 death; it may be prepared before or after the execution of the 
 will; it may be altered by the testator after its preparation; 
 and it may be a writing which has no significance apart from its 
 effect upon the dispositions made by the will.
