I'm glad to hear someone will continue on with the family tree.
A couple years ago, my cousin's daughter asked me for information. Her son was in 8th grade and had the project that many 8th graders have to find out about their ancestors. The family also did the Ancestry DNA tests and that got the 8th grader interested so he created a tree on Ancestry. I sent her a bunch of information that my grandmother had obtained back in the 1950's and was documented and told her to caution her son about just accepting all the hints Ancestry has (I've seen incorrect hints about some of the information my grandmother documented). Then I told her that I know where my info on that side of the family will go when I'm gone since I don't have kids to take over it.
Then 2 summers ago an aunt on the other side of the family was moving into assisted living. When I asked what the kids were going to do with the genealogy information she had, the one daughter asked if I wanted it. I told her I would take the information her mom had on her dad's family (which is my dad's family). I brought a bunch of stuff home then went through it and took what was not that family back the next day. They didn't know what they were going to do with her mom's side of the family. None of the 4 kids were interested in it. I did find some info in her research that I didn't have so I was glad I asked.
