Answer 1

Please read the article at http://www.virtualstampclub.com/inherit.html - but with stamps of this value, an auction house will probably be your best bet. If you are in the United States, try Regency Stamps, Ltd.

The catalog of stamps is Scott. Your library should have a copy. If they are U S stamps, look for the Scott Specialized Catalog of U S Stamps. You might have some difficulty selling such expensive stamps. The best thing to do is to contact several dealers in stamps and have them give you bids on them. The prices in the catalog are for very fine copies and are somewhat high. Consider the actual value to be about 1/2 the catalog value except for exceptional copies.

You can also put them up for auction. For very expensive stamps that is often the best way.
