Reply to comment by WoodsFinder in Just found out estranged brother passed away. How do I take care of his estate? by turtleneck360

Yeah the roommate likely took anything of value or tossed it out. I would contact the roommate but I don't know how. I don't know who he is or where he lived before his passing. My brother was a hoarder and a long time ago, was known to have kept a storage locker. So that is something else that I don't know how to go about checking.

If the town isn't that big, you could do it the old fashioned way and just cold call all of the storage unit places in the area to ask if they have a customer with his name. If they do, you could most likely explain the situation to them and let them know you'll pay the back pay if they will hold the unit while you become executor of the estate at the county courthouse.

Unfortunately, I don't live in a small town. It'll be impossible to cold call all of the storages. The problem is compounded by him having lived in two adjacent cities, both fairly large.
