[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 4406567, member: 13464"][USER=602]@Aquitaine[/USER] - I'm glad you think it may be helpful WAAAAY down the road! :) Honestly, the best thing - if possible - before you think they may need to break up housekeeping... is to get either a video walk through or hard paper copy with photos that hits at least the high points re: where something came from - how much you may have paid for it and if you do research or current market price - record that. It may give executors a place to start. I've got a good record of all our antique/vintage furniture now - with photos and comparable values. The never ending tide of incoming and outgoing smaller items is harder.

As "easy" as you can make it on executors the better. Honestly, it is always a daunting task; no matter if it is yours, a parent's, a friends or someone who's hired you. Leslie[/QUOTE]
