Treasure hunting for valuable stuff

Well, it’s Labor Day Weekend. My friend Laurie O’Bryne figured this would be a great opportunity to talk about a seemingly “laborious” task. I’m talking about cleaning out the personal effects of a lost parent or grandparent after they have passed away. What do you save? How do you dispose of sensitive information? Should you just throw away papers that look like junk? How much time should you allocate to this project?
