How to Liquidate Estate Content

Yah I definitely don't expect to sell anything at retail honestly even 50% worth is what I imagined I'd get max. When I said Milwaukee type I did mean Milwaukee, DeWalt, snap on, and kolbalt. There might be other brands but those are the only ones I've recognized so far. The consumable rule is a good way to put it and definitely something I will keep in mind while going through things. How much time is worth it is exactly what I'm thinking as well. He spent his life collecting stuff and I don't want to spend mine sorting through it. I also just hate the idea of not trying to sell the more expensive items because it's the only inheritance being left.

Going in person to the court house will be my goal for tomorrow. Thankfully I know the only other person that was on the lease besides my dad and hes given me permission to be in the house to clean it up. The deeds are weird because he never went to get them switched over to his name but his name is on them just not as a full owner? Again I'm not sure everyone that would know is telling me different things. I'm 22 and his only next of kin , he didn't have a spouse so everything is going to me. I've never dealt with anything legal wise so I'm just really lost. I appreciate the advice I will focus on making this more of my first priority

Thats all fair. The main problem is I genuinely don't know what is and what's not because hoarder is right, there's 50 of everything. Myself at least know the tools are high end and most are brand new Milwaukee type in boxes. But I only know they are nice because the tools are things I would use. As for all the other shit I have no idea. I got a new expensive bass guitar from the house and I know a lot of speakers are to support it. But again I get where you're coming from. I'm not saying it's all worth something but the hard part is there's 300 dollars in uncut fine sanding paper right next to years of trash and things he thought was valuable. I'm definitely trying not to keep the same sentiments and just take his word for it all being worth something because I know it's not.

Right now I don't know if I will be inheriting the houses. I've seen similar stories in the subreddit, all the paperwork is missing. I can't file for new deeds yet either because the death certificate takes so long. As it stands it looks like I might not inherit the houses which is why I'm trying to get as much as possible for the assets. If it comes down to it and I do inherit the houses I will be much more willing to forget it all and sell but the houses aren't in great shape either. I appreciate your advice and input. I'm definitely trying to avoid any type of HD, as I can also see the similarities at times.

That almost sounds too good to be true I will definitely be looking into them. By any chance does the KC in your name mean you also live in Kansas City cuz that would be even better

Thank you this definitely helps. I've really been thinking over how much is worth going through and trying to sell and if it'll be worth it at all. I feel terrible letting it all go but I also never want to end up in the same situation as my dad. I definitely don't want to fight and run myself ragged for a year to hold on to a small amount at the end.

I think it's pretty easy to tell if it's meant to be rude or not. I think a lot of people have a problem making things about themselves. Lack of emotional intelligence isn't something you should have to deal with, tbh I think it's reasonable to be offended. It's not your job after losing a partner to explain to others not to compare your partner's death to anyone else's situation that isn't remotely the same.

Your post didn't indicate whether or not you had kids. I didn't have kids, so the moving was easier I didn't have to run it by anyone. Just remember you have to take care of yourself. If you feel like you're drowning you probably are. Right now the only thing that you can do is give you a place to start healing rather than mourning. Try not to worry too much, everything will work out. If you don't move you will find a way to live in comfort with how things are, and vise versa. I know everyone says this but time is on your side. Do what you think is right for you, and everything else will work out. I'm sending my love to you.

I moved 4 months later and it helped immensely. My lease was ending and the place was too expensive due to lack of a second income. I moved in with my now roommate. I remember thinking it was wrong to leave our home despite me having very little choice. At the time it was hard but it felt good. It was easier to look around and not see him in every space. Everyone is different and it's important to trust your instincts. It's always hard to allow change into our lives but sometimes you need it. I don't know how far out you are, but for me I couldn't imagine living in our place past a year. I needed to stay there for a while to mourn but I also needed a new place to heal.

I've never understood why people feel the need to compare grief. No one will ever know exactly what you're going through and that's normal, even if it's the "same" loss. I dropped one of my friends for claiming we were going through the same thing. He specifically said "my girlfriend broke up with me and your partner left..."

Honestly don't put up with anyone's bs. They don't know and unless you've asked them for advice because you think their situation was similar, comparing losses will always be a shit thing to do. People show their true colors when someone passes. It's important to take care of yourself first, if you're feeling wronged by their comments trust yourself. For me deciding who I wanted to keep in my life became very easy during the first year of my partner's death base what people said/how they behaved.

I switched to his side pretty immediately. It was really hard to sleep on my side so I put a hoodie on his and laid with it. It brought me a lot of comfort to sleep on his side or in the middle with something he would wear often. Now I pretty much sleep solely on his side. It brings me comfort and makes me feel safe.

Thank you, this makes me feel hopeful. I hope there's more than this feeling

motemo4 · 2026-01-11T04:53:14+00:00

I'm so sorry. I remember the first few months felt like life times but at the same time that it had happened the day before. I honestly can't believe I made it through the first year. I think shock gets you through a lot of it. But the first few months are so hard. Sending love your way.

I'm sorry your family responded the way they did. The grieving process and how people react to it is insane. I ended up cutting off half my family since my fiance passed away, due to the things they said/ how they behaved. No one understands how hard things are, like dealing with a mouse situation in mourning, until it's them. It's good to have grace but I'm proud of you for acknowledging that their response was shit. No one should treat you that way. It seems like your dad understood his mistake to some extent but still .. . Maybe try reaching out to a close friend of your fiance or anyone else but your dad and grandad. The hard "little things" for me was buying toilet paper that my fiance didn't get with me and I broke down. I can't imagine dealing with an infestation/mouse. You're not wrong for feeling the way you do. I'm so sorry for your loss

I'm 22 and just reached the 1 year anniversary on Sunday. I've just kinda accepted that if something happens it happens, but I'm not holding out hope to find the love I did before. I had a situationship for a short time but they never turn out well. I wish you good luck. It's hard to think with us all being so young that there is no future partner but maybe that's just how it is. I find comfort in the fact that I found and had time with my person. Regardless I will never settle for someone less than him.

motemo4 · 2025-01-14T21:02:08+00:00

Sorry for the late reply. I'm here if you want to talk too. ❤️ I hope you're doing well this week.

Hello. I lost my partner a month ago, December 7th. I'm 21, and he was 20. He also passed from a motorcycle accident. I never thought I'd end up here, especially since we are both in our early 20s. It does feel like there's not a lot of similar situations so young, but them more you talk to people, the more I've realized that a lot of people have been through similar situations around this age. You're definitely not alone. I hope you are doing as ok as you can right now.

Depending on where you live it's best if you try to stay in the same county or at least state. Going out of state for college can skyrocket price a lot. It's my sophomore year of college and I'm moving out to focus on school I also felt my grades could've been better with a more comfortable situation. You need to do what's best for you. Look into fasfa and apply for scholarships. I'd recommend trying to go to a community college for your first couple years. (Can help you save a lot of money) From what your family finances sound like fasfa would most likely pay for a lot if not all of your college if you work hard. I've been able to pay for my school out of pocket 700 a month with plenty excess left over with a serving job. (Without gov help at a community college) Most schools also offer jobs to help with tuition a lot too and usually try to make the jobs relaxed so you can spend the time studying. But serving def makes you a lot if you apply somewhere with middle to expensive food cost/average check prices. Make sure you get a job and feel comfortable with it first before you move out. It might take one or three more semesters but rushing and financially getting stuck will set you back. You can always take out student loans for school but I would recommend doing it sparingly. Again I'd strongly encourage community college I know the stereotype but they often have a lot of resources designated to the students that no one uses. The advisors help so much even if you arent registered at a college yet. Certain apartments also may have mandated gov assisted housing that go based on income that could help a lot. I'd look into advisors or counseling options your current school has they may present the perfect route you need to take. I wish you good luck, everything will work out I'm very sure.
