It must be possible to have an appraiser come out and advise what to do with it. Give you some options. When my parents died in the U.S., we took the few things we wanted. None of us needed anything. Then we had charities come out and haul off everything. I remember one church was involved. I’m wai...

Meanwhile, clearing generations of junk is keeping us very busy. 😊 The old house we bought was fully of crap when it was handed to us. The demolition company requested the house to be "besenrein" before they could start demolishing it. So we had to empty completely. Everything was in, fur...

Thank you Fraufruit. I’m not sure what to do right now. I’ve only just got the Grundbuch changed. The house is just over 100 years old and has fallen into disrepair. Getting a Makler to come over is quite a challenge at the mo. I’m wondering if I could renovate it. Or, partly to potential increase s...

Couldn't you hire a 14y old girl from the neighborhood to do a 5 minute inspection walk through the house everyday after school? You know, lamp post advertisement? Thank you Franklan. I was mainly worried about how the gas heating would work if the mains water supply is switched off. The insurance ...

I’d really appreciate a bit of general advice as my technical know how is quite limited. My mother passed away last month and I’m now dealing with everything. I’m a bit stuck now in respect of the building insurance for her now unoccupied house. When I first spoke to the house insurer, R & V, I ...

I’m so sorry your son has these issues. The doctor sounds shockingly terrible! Is he definitely a medical doctor or a combination of Heilpraktiker? How is he registered. I think there are directories online. If you do receive a bill, maybe write a stern letter of complaint stating that if he pursues...

Arms around you, Emkay, as you continue to process everything. I'm happy you were with her at the end. I hope that helps bring some closure for you. Let us know if you need anything. Kisses Thanks so much Fraufruit. I may well appreciate moral support with the next several months of processing emot...

A big thank you for all moral support.😊 You're welcome! Any news? Thank you for asking Franklan. My mother passed away peacefully. I asked the hospital to arrange last rites.They phoned me a few hours later to say the priest will soon be there and it’s time….the priest was very kind. I stayed with ...

In the UK, after I had break-ins and a few car thefts, And that is the pertinent point: in the UK. You're in Germany. I've accidentally left a ground floor window open for 14 days while on holiday. Except for that room being well-aired, nothing happened. You can remove any valuables like jewellery ...

I really hope for some advice….I need to secure my mother’s home whilst she is in hospital and unlikely to return home. So far, I’ve gotten new led lamps on timer switches and a TV simulator. I’ve tried contacting the police crime prevention several times though they are never in! In the UK, after I...

We had a long meeting with a head doctor although he hadn’t treated my mother. He said the situation isn't yet life or death as another doctor had said the day before. New serious health issues are arising though. The Betreuungsamt phoned me today and we agreed that given that my mother has already ...

Thank you pappnase….nice perspective.

We spoke to a doctor yesterday and were told that a gesetzlicher Betreuer has been engaged due to my mother‘s worsening condition. Now dialysis is necessary. It was difficult to understand the doctor over the phone though I think she said that a decision between life and death needs to be made. We h...

You seem to have all the bases covered and you're doing a great job. Make sure you know what being her guardian entails before signing anything. Any idea why it is taking so long for her to get an MRI? Thank you Fraufruit. I won’t sign anything until I understand more about it. I think the delay ha...

Many thanks for your replies. I have started to stop panicking thankfully. I phoned a lawyer yesterday to clear up the situation of me entering her house to make sure all is fine. In principle, I don’t have a right to enter her house unless I have a power of attorney (vollmacht) to do so. The only p...

Apologies, no idea why my posts keep duplicating. Can’t seem to delete?

I’m having a bit of a panic. Overthinking probably though I’ve absolutely no experience of anything like this. I had always had a house key for my mother’s house. Not very long ago, she told me that she had to replace her very old front door and wanted me to have a new key. We never got round to tha...

Many thanks again. My mother isn’t improving. The coma inducing drugs have been stopped though she’s not waking other than occasionally opening her eyes. The doctors now think she may have had a stroke though can’t confirm until an MRI in 1-2 weeks. They also think that she will never have the menta...

Many thanks for all your advice and kindness. I was allowed to see my mother briefly this morning, though the nurses couldn’t tell me anything. I’ve no words to describe how shocking it was to see her in her condition. I was able to take her possessions including her house key. At her house, I just ...
