Begin with one call and one room. Ask a team what the steps are, and decide only what you must today. You can pause at any point. If the grief feels like too much, 988 offers support by call or text at any hour.
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.
Can the house be sold after a cleanout?
Yes. Once it has been cleared and cleaned, and any repairs are done, a home can be listed or returned. Questions about what must be disclosed are best answered by a real estate attorney or agent.
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.
Is the home safe to enter after a death?
Most are, but not all. If the person died alone and was found after some time, fluids can soak into floors and furniture. Spoiled food, mold, pests and needles can also be present. If you are unsure, do not clear the area yourself.
