<prompt> Human: Before I get into the update, I want to thank everybody for both your advice and words of kindness and support. Both were invaluable, and I appreciate it.I called the lawyer in Canada like everybody recommended. Essentially, my parents left everything to me. After speaking to my lifelong best friends dad lawyer and a family friend in Canada who was managing my parents rental properties for a small fee, Ive come to the conclusion that these are the following steps I will take:1. I plan to keep the rental properties. The family friend in Canada who is managing them for a small fee has agreed to continue to do so, and I trust her. I grew up with her kids and our families have been friends for a long time. Dont get me wrong, Im not just going to hand over the reigns; I plan on educating myself so that I can understand what all goes into owning and renting properties, but for the time being while Im sorting everything out, Im leaving her in charge.2. In the original post, there was a lot of talk about what to do with the house. Some people said to keep it, some people said to sell it. Ive decided that once all the legalities have been taken care of, I will be selling the house and moving into an apartment downtown closer to my university. A four bedroom house is too much for me at this point in my life, and it doesnt seem financially smart to hang on to it. Im trying to manage my finances carefully, and paying a mortgage and HOA fees and all the other things that go into taking care of a house just doesnt seem wise.3. After discussing things with the dean of my major, Ive decided to stay in school and finish the semester. He was very understanding of the situation and would accommodate me provided I had proof thank you to those who told me I would need it but recommended that since there are only three weeks left of class until finals, that I try to finish strong and use winter break to take care of myself. At this point, school has been my mental escape, so Ive decided to take his advice and finish the semester.4. Ive surrounded myself with a pretty solid support system, like many people advised. Along with meeting my old high school principalfamily counselor, Ive made arrangements to go to the counseling services at school this week. People from church have been bring meals, and one of my friends has been staying at my house since the funeral.5. Regarding the vehicles, I plan to sell the SUV and my dads Honda, and keep the Camry until the new year, when I will begin shopping for a new vehicle. The SUV, like the house, is impractical for a twenty-year-old college student, and both the Camry and Honda are on their way out.6. Regarding finances, my parents have left me enough in savings to take care of myself for a couple of years, provided I manage the money carefully. Additionally, I plan to hire a financial advisor to manage my dads investments, as my knowledge is limited. The income from the rental properties should be more than enough to support me, so I dont plan on touching my parents savings unless and emergency arises.7. Like many suggested, I contacted my dads company. Apparently, the apartment he had been renting while overseas belongs to him, not the company, but it was not included in the will, so I am unsure what will happen with that but am keeping as close tabs as I possible can on it. His companies HR department has been very helpful helping me sort through everything, and has even called to check up on me and make sure Im doing alright.So, thats currently where I am. I want to thank everyone again for the outpouring of support and advice. This has been difficult, but everyones kindness was a bright spot in a terrible week.  <response>: You seem to have your wits about you for pulling out the most important bits of advice in the thread. Looking into taking care of your emotional wellbeing is very wise of you, and those who advised it. Getting the financials organized is one thing, but trying to do that while not taking care of yourself is sabotaging yourself in two ways. Good luck, dude. Youre doing the right things.
