Who decides what is kept and what is removed?
The family or the person handling the estate decides. The team follows those directions and should confirm them with one point of contact. For legal questions about authority over a home and its contents, ask an attorney.
What not to do after a parent dies?
Do not rush to clear the house, and do not throw anything away before checking for papers, valuables and keepsakes. Do not make large decisions in the first days. Ask for help, and ask an attorney before disposing of anything with legal weight.
How long does it take to clean out a house after someone dies?
It depends on the size of the home, the amount of belongings and how many decisions remain. A small apartment can take a day or two, while a full house takes longer. A team can give a timeline after a walkthrough or a look at photos.
Can the team find and keep valuables?
Teams usually check drawers, closets and pockets for cash, jewelry and papers and set them aside for the family. Tell the crew what to look for, and ask how found items will be returned to you.
