[QUOTE="Blighty, post: 714612, member: 21991"] If in UK, your parents are under a legal obligation to take care of the possessions and have a duty to act reasonably in regard to the goods left on the premises. The law relating to uncollected consumer goods is covered by the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977. The Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977 allows you to sell goods left in a property if reasonable efforts to trace the owner of the goods fail. The Act further states that if you can trace him you must serve notice stating your intention to dispose of the items, how to arrange collection, and that disposal of the items will not begin until the notice has expired You may also need to consider her residency status; if the law recongnises her as still resident in the property as not legally evicted properly, that hurdle may need to be overcome first.
