[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent is a bit of a hoarder yet was actually clean with regards to dusting, dishes and so on until it became hard as far as age goes.

The hoarder causing problems is my sibling who wants to go through every scrap of paper and there is sooooo much. If I call a place to take things away, there will be a massive freak out.

Ugh.

I read hoarders do not get better.

Is there any chance that the sibling is concerned that cash or stock certificates or the like could be in and among the various papers she’s going through?

I was involved with the clean out of an elderly person's home where this was the case. We were finding cash and savings bonds stuck in among piles of cards and paperwork. More than $15,000 worth. Still not sure if we accidentally threw some away.

Good question yet I don’t think so. They are very grabby with items and want items I’d consider trash.

A relative had a lot of those papers. Eventually, PIs or the companies themselves track down the heirs to send the money. [/quote]
