I am the sole survivor in an immediate family of "collectors". Hoarding is different, although they sure look the same. The difference is hoarders have worthless junk and trash that can all be discarded and collectors have clutter, some pretty good stuff, important things, and no rhyme or reason to where it is. Case in point, I asked someone if they knew where the checkbook was and they replied "we are talking about ______, have you tried the freezer?"

I actually need 2 people, both part time, mostly weekends, when I can be there to make decisions and separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak:
1. General laborer - clean-out, move, stack, haul, hang, pack, etc.
2. Assistant - scan, copy, file, organize, shred, type, mail, light bookkeeping (think of an old school secretary before it became a dirty word).

The usual requirements, honest, hard worker, follows directions, keeps his/her mouth shut (it's Peyton Place, nothing illegal), uses their brain to 80%+ of capacity. If I wanted somebody all up in my business, I would ask family for help, and yet here I am.

I'm keenly aware of how pitiful that sounds. Calling it like it is. One group is just trying to take advantage of me and will be gone as soon as they get what they are after or take what they can, whichever is first. If they ask about the "family" ______ one more time, I may light it on fire in the driveway then call to say I found it. Happy to take one of the cars for their teenage son "if it would help out", until dad's Mustang was gone and magically none of the others would work. The other group is just there to be judgmental, gossip, and generally get in the way.

Sounds like "family". Shame what some people will do a nickel.

I asked grandson, he moved to working weekends for the pay premium.

Good luck.
Frankly, I don't give two s***s about the "Family _____". It's sentimental, not valuable. It's the principle that it was given to someone, I know it, and they are lying to me and badgering me to get it. While one of them was still alive and at the service, no less. Even going so far as asking friends who have keys to the house to go search for, and get, it for them or to borrow their keys so they can. Thank God, for honest principled friends. I don't want it, know they'll preserve it, and planned on letting them have it, until they started behaving this way.
