Just went through this with my MIL. 40+ years of family heirlooms. We moved a bunch of it. More than she will ever need or can fit in her house and had an auction for the rest. The way I see it, I will get to move it all again someday when I'm in my 60's instead of my 40's. Yipee.
You have a couple options...
1. Take care of it now (auction) so your kid(s) don't have to. Use the money for something you've always wanted to do, or save it, set up a college fund for the grandkids, or whatever makes you happy (which is what the people who left it to you wanted you to be).

3. Leave everything to someone who isn't your kid(s). Maybe a charity. They will have the auction and use the money how they want to.
