At the moment, I am having a clear-out myself of all financial type papers. I have lots of statements from old closed accounts, etc. that are cluttering up my shelves so I have put them all in a sack ready to shred. I am dreading the shredding!
So glad you have the grant of Probate. My cousins and I are still waiting....its been 3 and a half years since my Uncle died.Hello Everyone.
I'm just letting you know that my brother has emailed to say that he has received the grant of probate and he wants to know whether my other brother and I want him to keep the papers until they are needed.

I've never done this sort of thing before.

I had so much paperwork to shred - mine and Mum's - that it would have taken me weeks to shred the lot. Luckily a friend has two garden incinerators so we lit them both and spent 4hrs burning the lot over a bottle of wine or two. Very therapeutic

My advice @MaNaAk is, whenever faced with a job that seems big, break it down into manageable pieces.
I would tackle the house a room at a time. Clear one room (one you don't use much or part of a larger room) first and use that space to put separate piles from other rooms into keep for you/charity shop/discard/for discussion with the gannet brothers. If you can, put everything into boxes or bags with labels so it looks organised and tidy.
This is probably a good thing to mention to your therapist at your next session. I wish I lived nearby. I'd come over after lock-down to help. I've moved house lots of times. It often seems overwhelming at first but it's really not.
And don't worry - we'll all be around to help you out.
In another thread I remember you saying how therapeutic shredding was and I remember agreeing with you.
