You know what's weird. We are finding a bunch of shit that is made in Japan, like those small jewelry boxes, silverware etc. and he WAS in the navy...the grandfather I mean. Wow I totally didn't think that through. I just assumed his family liked imported Japanese shit at one point

Look for occupied japan items, they can be worth quite a bit, @Unclebaldrick is a genius on this curio and collectible stuff.

I concur with @Singlemalt the salvaging of the house and using what you can get off the diamond and other items. Get some good side pictures and count the facets etc...... so you can estimate age to some degree by cut. I can see some visual inclusions but the color looks very good. With the rest of the stuff if you sell it you might get enough to save that house.

As to the legality did Gran die intestate or is there a will @pabloesqobar

Yea that's what he wants to do and I agree. He wants to save the house but in my eyes it's a huge legal issue. The house is still in his deceased grandmothers name, the grandmothers sister is still alive, and he has two siblings but only the two of us have been going through the place and putting money into it.

Sounds like a nightmare and you don't have legal title. You're smart enough that you've already done the math. But by all means rescue that mold infested dump.

No will and boyfriend is the oldest so he is the executor for his siblings. But the aunt is still alive but she's mentally ill in a hospital somewhere in deep Texas. If she saw what it looks like now though, I'm confident she'll let it go if she gets a payment. The half brother and his sister will be the same. (No effort put in but they want the output) of course. Just the damn taxes. If we pay it we will take a cut after selling the home. If that's legal.

Not to mention this place is haunted lol.

Back in the 80s after the grandfather died, when the aunt would record her shows on VHS there would be this odd noise that would get louder and louder, and it's on every single tape since he died. And we have them. I wonder if there is a way to convert VHS audio to computer file and then on to a YouTube video¿

As a sibling I doubt she'd have any claim since the gran had kids. But take a look at that here:

By the looks of things, I'd give my left nut (the larger of the two) to have a few hours in that joint...

Yea you'd say that until you entered the threshold of a house that held 3 deaths, has had no power in Texas, has flooded, and rodent poopie is everywhere. Bleh

When the ambulance came to get my boyfriends dad after he performed CPR on him, they walked outside laughing and hosed their shoes off. The garage on the other hand is where I dwell, some spiders sure but no mold and we are starting to get to the back of it which holds a lot of his grandmothers stuff from the 30s. There's W chest in the back that we can see but can't get to yet, but in sure it's empty.
