Will important papers and keepsakes be protected?

Yes, you can ask how the team protects them. Many teams set aside papers, photos and jewelry first and return them to the family. Tell the team what to look for. Photos and papers are usually found early, before large items are moved.

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.

Can a cleanout be done while the family lives far away?

Yes. Many families work from photos, video calls and phone decisions. Ask the team about keys, access and one point of contact. A relative or a friend nearby can meet the crew if you prefer.

Does insurance cover an estate cleanout?
