[quote=Anonymous]Do you have any siblings? If so, are you on the same page and could they become troublemakers in the future or are they solid good people? If they are difficult people you may need to give weekly updates and have them email back to say they got the message and have no questions or concerns. Every bump you encounter include your own life crises will need to be reported to them and let them know you will not be working on the estate for x amount of time due to this. If willing, offer to sign over the reigns if this is a problem for them. You'd be surprised how even a sibling can have no empathy and decide that your husband's surgery and rehabilitation along with all your other responsibilities should not stop you from working on the estate for longer than a week or 2.

If your siblings are normal and decent people then just ask how often they want updates.

For the home it's worth the money loss to use a Realtor so nobody blames you if they thought it should have sold for far more. If it's high end, might be worth it to hire home-stagers to bring the right furniture and set up.

Make sure everyone is realistic about how little estate sales bring in.[/quote]
