How to Calm the Chaos Your Parents Leave Behind

By: Julie Hall

Narrated by: Jill Blackwood

Every day, hundreds of adult children become middle-aged orphans when their elderly parents pass away. . .but what should you do with what they’ve left behind? Professional estate liquidator Julie Hall provides essential guidance for any executor, heir, or beneficiary.

You’ve heard the horror stories: arguments over stuff, an inheritance lost forever when easily deceived parents are scammed, siblings estranged, an adult heir taken from daily responsibilities for months because of the enormous task of clearing out a childhood home. It doesn’t have to be that way.

The Estate Lady, professional estate liquidator Julie Hall, knows what to do. Whether your parents are still living or you’re caught in the middle of a crisis, Inheriting Clutter has solutions. Hall provides trustworthy counsel on how to:

• Divide your parents’ estate with peace of mind
• Minimize fighting with siblings during the estate settlement process
• Clear out the family home in thirty days or less
• Identify potential items of value in the home
• Have “that conversation” with your parents
• Prepare your own children for the future

The Estate Lady offers guidance for any executor, heir, or beneficiary, sharing some of her most fascinating stories as well as helpful checklists of the things that need to be done now and at the time of your loss.

Inheriting Clutter gives you practical, effective steps for liquidating and distributing your parents’ assets in a way that both honors them and promotes family harmony for generations to come.

Quizzes, checklists, and resources are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Important to read

This isn't a fun book by any stretch of the imagination, but it's important. I think I'm going to have my siblings all read this too, even though it will hopefully be a long time before we need to put it to use. the steps lined out are very sensible and well-organized, in addition to being full of compassion.

Dated but very useful

The stories are great warnings and examples, if a bit unreliable to my situation.

Overall this is full of great advice. It is a bit dated in places, as one would expect from something this old.

I understand the why this narrator was chosen, but she got on my nerves towards the end.

Extremely Valuable Information

I lost both my parents this year and was anxiously awaiting the release of this book to walk me through the process. Well worth the wait.
