Hi folks,
Well here is my problem-my aunt passed away at the ripe old age of 99 two and a half months ago and left me in charge of her estate. My problem is that she had a huge home filled with just tons of stuff, anyway I need to have some kind of estate sale or something. Does anyone know of anyone good who can help me? Thank You I greatly appreciate it.

I don't know where you are located, but when my grandfather passed away we had a similar situation. We had Michael McKeown, of McKeown Real Estate in Stroudsburg, auction for us. We were very pleased with his professionalism. He was an older gentleman and I'm not sure if he is now retired, but the real estate and auction business is a family business, so I'm sure someone could help you.

Thank You but I believe I am a bit to far from there I live in the valley, and my sister thinks an onsite sale would be best.

Are you the actual executor or executrix? If so, don't you have an attorney to advise you? You must have short certificates before you can take possession of bank accounts or dispose of anything.

The fastest method of selling both your aunt's household possessions and real estate is through an on site auction. Your attorney can probably recommend a competent auctioneer.
