Take the documents (that you know have no legal value) to be shredded, along with the photos you don't want. Some places will even bring a truck for a fee and shred it right at your place. Google "document shredding services [your area]". If you think all the things in that list have value, contact an estate sale company. They can appraise it and arrange its sale. They will guide you through the whole process. They take a % of the profit so they are very happy to help. If you don't think much of it is valuable have a yard sale and donate the rest to goodwill or equivalent. Anyway that's where you start. Focus on that. Getting rid of the family backlog of stuff. The rest is easy. To show a place you put things in storage and then hire movers when it's time.

If something sits on a shelf collecting dust and has no function and you never interact with it and maybe it was a gift and maybe you don't even like it - taking a photo of the thing will serve the exact same purpose. In fact a digital image of the item will be BETTER than the useless shelf filling thing because it takes zero space and doesn't collect dust anymore. And you can still see it whenever you want.

Corrode posted:OP your problem is that you're a hoarder. Get psychiatric help. No, the fact that she's easily recognized many many things as useless junk she needs to throw away shows that she's not. This is just someone who has too much stuff after multiple deaths in the family and has become overwhelmed with where to begin. I'm confident OP will do this final ultimate decluttering eventually. She has awareness of it. I grew up in a hoarder house, they are very different.
