Tena and Ray Bluhm in their new home in the Westminster retirement community in Lake Ridge, Va., Aug. 10, 2017. The Bluhms moved in to their new home in early August, and needed to sort through items to determine what they needed and could fit in the smaller space. How to dispose of a lifetime of memories and keepsakes? These days, it pays to ask a professional, not your heirs.

Aging parents with lots of stuff – and the children who dread inheriting it

As baby boomers grow older, the volume of unwanted keepsakes and family heirlooms is poised to grow – along with the number of delicate conversations about what to do with them. According to a 2014 U.S. census report, more than 20 percent of America’s population will be 65 or older by 2030. As these waves of older adults start moving to smaller dwellings, assisted living facilities or retirement homes, they and their kin will have to part with household possessions that the heirs simply don’t want.
