What is the best way to clean out my parents' home after their death?

Go slowly and begin with safety and paperwork. Secure documents, jewelry and photos first. Then work room by room, and ask a team to help with lifting, hauling and cleaning. Take breaks. Nothing says the whole house must be done in one weekend.

Who pays for an estate cleanout?

In many cases the cost is paid from the person's estate, by family members or by the person named to handle the estate. Insurance may help with biohazard cleanup but is less likely to pay for sorting and hauling. Questions about authority and payment are best answered by an attorney.

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.

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.
