A:
I'm sorry you are so bitter about this. I feel like there are some issues between the two of you. So why are you getting into this when it's your mother's house. It all should be up to her.
The stuff belongs to your brother in law, and if you sell it, it would be a felony crime, so don't attempt it. Let your mother handle this, and stay out of it.
