My parents past away 3 years ago.
I could split the money 4 ways and send a check in the mail.
My mother's jewelry and my father's coin collections were not worth much, but a big pain to deal with because I could not split them evenly.
The guns were not as much trouble. They were not worth much either, but I put a price on each gun and the relatives made them disappear [I got the Winchester].
That is all small stuff compared to getting rid of a house with a basement and garage full of junk.
Getting rid of a house is nothing compared to getting live in care for aging parents. It turns out I am a member of a family with all chiefs and no Indians.


There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. -Ernest Hemingway
