Don't agree about notice period - although I told my manager before I'd handed in my notice, as we had a good personal relationship and I wanted us to work through it together as well as talk through the options, don't give the company more time than they expect out of you. You've already worked very hard for them, and if they felt that you needed 3 months to handover, that'd be your notice period
