Deceased estate clean up projects can be highly emotional, especially if it means disposing of a parent’s lifetime of memories. Every family moves through the process differently. With the right help, you can tackle determining which boxes, furniture, kitchenware, antiques, and other belongings in a way that keeps stress to a minimum.
Deceased Estate Clean Up
Once you’ve gone through the estate a service like Junk King can help you quickly and efficiently donate, dispose of, or recycle what you no longer want. But before that, you need to do the sorting. Here are some tips on how to move forward with the cleanout.
- Accept help. If there are people who are willing to lend a hand, it can make the physical part of boxing things up or throwing them out much easier.
- Be thorough. When you’re tired, it can be tempting to just empty drawers into a box and be done with it. Take your time when sorting out closets, drawers, cabinets, and containers. You may find something of personal meaning or financial value. And don’t forget to check the pockets in clothing!
- Set aside financial documents. Designate a box for things like a will, trusts, insurance policies, recent bank statements, stock certifications, tax returns, and any paperwork necessary for unfiled tax returns.
- Hire an appraiser. If the deceased had antiques, art works, or fine jewelry, you may want to consider having an estate appraiser give you an estimate of their worth. An appraisal last about one to three hours and can be time well invested when deciding how to dissolve the property. An auction, consignment arrangement, or estate sale may be in order.
- Family first. Make sure siblings and other close family members make a list of the items they would like to have in memory of the deceased. Photos and memorabilia are often the most difficult to divide during a deceased estate clean up. Options include a round robin where people choose one item at a time or having copies made. Many people also take photos of items they want to remember but don’t necessarily have room for in their homes.
