I can only imagine that he pledged his actual papers to a museum or University film school a long time ago. It's not uncommon to do that well before you pass away. And you / your estate gets a very substantial tax break for it.
So I would -definitely- guess this is what's left after anything of scholarly or creative value was taken care of.
I mean - the sale of two of the three adjacent properties he owns just off Mulholland would be enough to keep those inheriting his estate going for a while on their own. I doubt "everything must go" to pay off creditors or something...
Anyway - yeah I can only imagine the actual papers are at a scholarly institution.

How would this be valued precisely?
