We had to wait for probate too. We are still awaiting the final settlement of the will of my aunt who died over two years ago. As far as the collections of stuff, my parents got rid of a lot when they got older, offering to any of us kids that wanted it, or getting rid of it to Good Will and so on, but there was still a lot to deal with and there are still some of their things in the condo, because my stepmother still lives there. I'm actually trying to get rid of a lot of junk all along and asking the kids what (if anything) of mine they want when I die. Of course, Matt wants all the musical instruments! >________________________________ > From: Anita >To: Lama (Jim L*Hommedieu) >Cc: JMDL >Sent: Thursday, February 2, 2012 6:08:20 PM >Subject: Re: Joni Estate sale > >Jim, we couldn't sell any of my Mum's stuff till probate was granted.Is it the same in the US? Do you have to wait till probate is granted before you can do anything with a deceased person's belongings? My brother performed a miracle and got probate in three months,which was really fast over here, > >Law aside, I have been clearing out stuff for the whole of last year,Mum's and my own.All that stuff we accumulate on Life's road seems so ridiculous and sad close to bereavement.Furniture and knick knacks that a person found important in their lives gets sold or dumped. We accumulate so much but need so little,really. Going through parent's belongings brings up lots of feelings.I feel for Joni if she's going through all that . > >Anita x > > >On 2 Feb 2012, at 21:46, "Lama \(Jim L*Hommedieu\)" wrote: > >> Since her father just passed, I'll bet that Joni's selling stuff from their house. When someone dies, you have to deal with their stuff. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2012 #104 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list, send tojoni@smoe.org.
