My father had sent my mother a set of china and some Hummel figurines when he was in Germany while in the Army many years ago. She recently passed away and he is in assisted living. They have been sitting in my basement for a few years and I have no interest in keeping it all, but feel guilty for wanting to hand it all off to any antique dealer or where ever. And I should add that both of my parents' choice was to not have a close relationship with me since childhood, so I guess that also plays into having no interest. I have no other siblings. What do I do?
Just a thought. In reality, they are yours to do with as you wish. But I'd want the monetary value myself, and then to allow others to enjoy them. My mother had Lladro figurines which I truly detest; I gave a few to her caregivers at the Memory Care, one to my DD, and I kept one that's a ballerina. I'm going to sell the rest of them on eBay b/c they DO have value.
