hate thibgs are all on hold due to all the virus restrictions. makes it really hard on families of loved ones lost, out of work and kids at home schooling. It's hard on the elderly living alone at home as well. I really feel for those in nursing homes being isolated from family but I understand. More needs to be done to protect our seniors in these facilities to protect them from any illnesses being brought in by visitors or workers!!

TTo answer your question on the homeowners insurance on your mom's house. YES, you need to keep it going even if the home is paid for. You still have an estate sale coming, people will be looking once on market for sale. It's more about protecting yourselves from liability and fire loss. Anything can happen and you could lose everything. We kept the insurance on my parents home and only cancelled it the day AFTER we closed on the sale of the place, not a second before. You also need to take pictures of the house contents in the event of a fire for insurance purposes. Take every precaution you can to protect your interests and contents. Don't forget people are out there breaking into homes as well. Protect yourself. Hang in there, before long hopefully this will be behind you and you can grieve.
