A step-by-step plan for clearing an inherited home. Here is what we explain to customers every day on the phone.
Secure documents
Search for wills, deeds, financial papers and photos before anything is discarded.
Sort in zones
Work room by room with keep, donate, sell and toss piles.
Schedule the dumpster
Order the container once sorting is mostly complete to make the best use of rental days.
Pro tip: Give yourself more time than you think. Most estate cleanouts take one to three weekends.
