Found over $1000 in Bitcoin on hard drive purchased from an estate sale... Really wondering what my next step is.

I recently purchased a pc from an estate sale of someone who had passed away. Booted up the pc to test its condition, to find the desktop covered in crytocurrency shortcuts. Checked the wallets and in total they are about $1100 by current exchanges. I really have no idea what I should do in this situation.

I could probably contact the next of kin by visiting the place I bought it from. But frankly I'm unemployed and the money would help a ton so it is very hard to do the "moral" thing. But I'm not even aware of laws regarding this sort of thing. Is the bitcoin is mine because I bought the computer, directly from the next of kin? It's not as if I knew the bitcoin was on the hard drive and scammed the seller...

Any real advice is welcome
