Estate Cleanout for Your Loved One

The last estate cleanout

The time will come – if it hasn’t already – when you’re faced with the loss of a loved one whose home is filled with memories and treasures that shape a unique story of a person’s life. While we always encourage people to evaluate their situation on an annual basis to keep their basements and garages clear – conducting an estate cleanout after the loss of a loved one can be cathartic as well as healing.

An estate cleanout after someone passes away is always a very private affair. It’s not always appropriate to let just anyone tackle this project. After all, an estate cleanout of this nature requires patience, honor and meticulous attention to detail. At times like this, it’s easy to see how material insensitivity can take over without regard for the real sense of human loss. Too many times, people rush in with only themselves in mind. Without a carefully planned estate clean out, a delicate and emotional situation can go from bad to worse. Which is why it’s a good idea to work with a professional that has experience in situations like these.

Do you know what you have? It’s important to conduct an inventory to ensure you understand the depth and breadth of the cleanout e.g., identifying items to donate, sell, pass along to family, etc.

Who’s involved in the cleanout? Aside from the professionals, are there others that may want to pitch in to help? If you’re selling, will you need to enlist the help of a contractor to prep the house for inspections? Involving the family can be a healthy way to gain closure and come closer together.

Just get it done. In the end, there will be significant amount of trash that will need to be hauled away. Once all the sentimental items and items of value have been distributed – it comes down to the task of bringing in the trucks and dumpsters.
