[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here.  Thanks for the tips.  My ILs can't help--both close to 90 and not interested even when they were younger.  No aunts or uncles on husbands side.  As for the money aspect, I would be happy to write the check but unfortunately my sister's husband is not trustworthy and I think they would try to pay themselves a salary for their time on the project.  That's what they were going to do a few years back when there was some discussion of using some of my mom's money to put an addition on my sister's house for her to live in.  That's why I called the movers--there's a trust issue and I want only to pay the movers directly and not my sister and BIL.[/quote]

I understand but you are trusting them to take care of all of the non-monetary aspects of the move without micromanaging. You either need to get more involved and help more, or else trust them to take care of it and just write the check. I probably would give them some extra money for their time btw. [/quote]
