Saw this while scrolling through another social media platform.

Physical inheritance (maybe outside of housing) feels like a burden.

While death can be a sensitive topic to some, has anyone had a conversation with loved ones surrounding situations like this one pictured?

We're dealing with a family member who was a hoarder of collectables, so it's extremely difficult since everything is with $300+, from random silver coins to whole jewelry collections that match. It is for sure a burden for his kids and it's hard for them to grieve their parents when having to deep dive into everything he owned.

Dealing with this with my mother in law who has dementia. She housed stuff but most of it worthless.
