I suggest you contact her and him in writing about the need to collect the items and why, suggest a date(s) and a final date after which you will have to give away the items because the house must be broom clean for the closing. I assume you house is not even on the market yet, so that would give them adequate time to address the situation.

You should notify your daughter in writing that you will consider her possessions abandoned unless she picks them up in a reasonable period of time; 30 days is a good measure. Send her the letter by certified mail and an additional copy by first class mail with certificate of mailing. If she has not retrieved the items after the 30 days have passed, you should notify her in writing that you will proceed to dispose of the items. If you feel uncomfortable doing this yourself you can have attorney take care of this matter for you. A local attorney would also be familiar with the practice in situations of this type in your area.
