Dealing with the estate of a loved one is never easy, and that's not because there are more things in a person's house than we think. It's because all the things in a person's house hold value. And they aren't just things; they are memories, heirlooms, extraordinary treasures complete with stories and laughter and warm feelings. An estate comes with emotions. And when someone dies, their emotional, grieving loved ones are often tasked with taking care of all the things left behind. On one hand this makes sense; it is the loved ones who know best what all the belongings are. On the other hand, grieving is hard enough on its own without having to pack up the deceased's house and watch all its memories spread out among the living.
Many times there are specific pieces in a person's home, namely a grandparents' home, that have been designated for a specific person. Maybe it's an ancient grandfather clock that chimes beautifully, provoking mystery (how does it still chime after hundreds of years?) and wonder (every chime is like being at Grandma's table again.) Maybe it's a portrait of ancestors, passed down through every generation. Maybe it is not only significant within a family, but significant historically. A first edition book, an original painting, a relic, or war memorabilia.
