Death is kind in some respects, what about dementia or Alzheimer's. A friend from OH ended up in "extended" care. His kids didn't want anything to do with his junk even though they knew the value, his second wife was happy to clear the house, basement and garage. It was all placed on the curb. I found out about it months later. Regardless, nobody gets out alive. Take inventory, value and identify everything. At the very least write a list. I did it about four years ago, took several lined pads, then entered it on an excel spreadsheet. About two thousand lines. Easy to sort and find everything. The bulk of my small parts are stored in 80 numbered boxes in my basement. And no ($) math mistakes.
