The Estate Cleanout Checklist
By Collin•Updated 2024-03-01
Clearing an estate is overwhelming. Use this checklist to stay organized.
1. Secure the Valuables
Before bringing in any help, go through the home and locate financial documents, legal papers, jewelry, family photos, and small keepsakes. Remove these from the property first.
2. Distribute to Family
Allow family members to claim specific furniture or items. Label what stays clearly.
3. Hire a Cleanout Service
Once everything of value is removed and family items are claimed, what remains is junk. Hire a professional estate cleanout service to sweep the rest of the house, removing old furniture, trash, and debris safely.
