[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing you describe sounds like greed. It sounds like grieving sisters who want sentimental items. From your title, I expected a story about millions of dollars. But elderly sisters who want some valueless clothes and jewelry their sister owned because they love her? That’s not greed. That’s profound grief.

If you don’t care about anything, let them wander around the house. Why would you even care? Let them take what they want. Once it’s out of your house, it’s one more item you don’t have to deal with.

You sound like the issue here more than anything. [/quote]
You don’t know them or their relationship with my mother, so I’m asking you to trust me. It’s maybe not greed, you’re right. It’s control, then.

I don’t care what they take at all, but I don’t have time or energy to fool around while they argue about it, nor do I want to halt progress by holding on to things while they nickel and dime buyers on the internet and claim they don’t have a place to store the things. I don’t have the energy to fight with them. [/quote]

Make clear that there will be a set date where the house has to be and WILL be cleaned out. And if they don’t want things donated to good will then suggest that they rent a storage space and movers on their own dime and they’re free to do what they want with the rest of the stuff not mentioned in a will but that one way or another the house is being emptied on a set date.[/quote]
