I'm seeing more and more of this as an appraiser. Though you may worry about things going "cheap", I'm actually seeing the opposite in many cases. The family is overwhelmed with things to go through, and either the deceased talked about how "valuable" this car/stuff was or some friend or family member is telling them to expect Barrett Jackson prices for the Malibu that hasn't run since Dad took it apart and got sick 10 years ago. They're grieving and are afraid of getting taken advantage of so they hang onto stuff until moving or taxes force their hand. And then they're still conflicted. Make a will , educate your family on what you have. Remember, to 95% of the world and a lot of your heirs, your date coded LS6 parts look just like the parts your kid took off his Honda when he was in college. Check your titles-make sure that you have them all in one place, and that the numbers actually match the cars you have. Not too great making your grieving heirs navigate estate lawyers, DMV, and State Patrol inspection because you couldn't be bothered to get your stuff in order.
