I don't like the idea of buying semi-auto pistols used. There could be a lot wrong w/ them that won't be noticeable. That is a lower end 1911 to begin w/. I would want to fire it first.

Go on Gunbroker and do an advanced search looking for for those models that have already sold. then take another $50-100 off for possible repair work. $50 if its in great condition. I would be thinking about leaving it alone and go w/ Remington new out of the box instead if you want a 1911.

You misspelled Ruger.

Don't know much about either, but they both seem like decent low end 1911's. Best thing to do would be to buy a Colt or a Sig 1911.

I disagree, given the manufacturer is well-known and respected. I would have no problem buying a used S&W, Glock, Ruger, Walther, HK, FN, etc. Now, buying a used Hi Pernt or Taurus would give me pause (not that those are necessarily on the same plane though).
As for the guns' values, find the average market price of a new one on Gun Broker and then deduct about 20-30% for depreciation. For an extremely high round count (1000s of rounds) the depreciation would probably be around 50%.

That might be ok if you believed the reason for selling. Some semi-autos are going to have problems no matter the manufacturer. Those are the ones that get sold quite often. Also, if you don't know the rounds through it, you might be looking at recoil, mainspring, etc. replacement. Revolvers on the other hand i like buying used unless its during S&W's crap period. They actually sold revolvers in the nineties w/ canted barrels.

buying a used Hi Pernt
Just torch it in half and use their amazing warranty. New gun.

I bought them at approx 60% of new.
Ar 15 runs around $1,100 online, I got it for $600
Marlin 60w with sweet 22 runs around $235, I paid $100.
Auto ordinance 1911 is around $500 new, I got it for $300.

And most of the companies I listed have good customer service that can get the gun running well or eventually replace it if the problem can't be resolved. Of course some of them are known for less-than-stellar customer service (like HK because they're better than you).

No family left might mean that no surviving family wants the guns; if someone thought the gun was worth something of significant value they would likely want to keep it.
So that means there is likely not a huge demand for this, they likely want a sum of cash instead. Usually, this is more about getting some money NOW, rather than waiting to sell it at market price.
I'd find a NRA fair condition price for each (you can find the price at the library in a current Gun Value book of some sort), then offer whatever percentage you feel is just. If you know the people and want to help them out with the estate, offer a full 100%. If you're totally an outsider, you might offer, say, $300, and see what is said. $350 can get you a new Tisas 1911 from Bud's, which is about the lowest new 1911 you can buy. So if I wanted it, I would offer around the price of the Tisas and use that as leverage, see what the return offer is, or they might just accept it.

Not very familiar with AO, but I think they are "true" 1911s, meaning you can replace parts very easily. Any doubt about springs, replace them. Usually unless someone has tried to modify a gun at home and screwed up, most parts will be fine, and you would likely just need springs and a new mag, if that. Often enough, a good cleaning is all that you need.
I've got a Sig P226 on the way for $315, and I expect to find no real issue with it, other than being "old". I plan on getting new springs after cleaning the gun, and will go from there.
I got a CZ 75 for $300 and a Beretta 92FS for $299, they are both great.
