Hello all,
    I am looking for anyone who has experience with, or a policy for
dealing with, fractional donations of collection objects. For example, a
donor who wants to donate 25% of an interest in his collection of 100
buttons in one year, so as to spread the tax benefits over as many years as
possible. The whole idea makes me very nervous, and I'd love to find out
what other institutions may have done in those circumstances.

thanks in advance for any help you can give!
