[quote=Anonymous]Our parents had a huge house and kept adding-on to it as the decades went on, to hold more stuff. My brother and I had an average knowledge of what was valuable. But there were a lot of unique historical items in the house which were the hardest to sort and agree on who gets what. We all knew those items would be touchy for our relationship. We were not likely to fight over usual items that might bring in money. We actually hired a company. It cost 3K. That's shocking but split 4 ways it was money well spent, we all agreed. They sorted the contents of the whole estate: one room were salable items, they would sell and give back some of the profit. One to donate, one likely sentimental, one junk. Everything was displayed so it was easy to see what we had. The viewing lasted about a month, different family members showed up at different times when they were town, to take what they wanted. It was like shopping.

This was after the 4 of us had lifted the most sentimental/valuable items. This post may not be helpful since the co. hasn't in DMV.[/quote]
