Answers About Clearing a Home After a Loss in South Broadway, Albuquerque, NM

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.

What should I ask an estate cleanout company before hiring?

Ask how it protects papers and valuables, how it deals with hazards and where items go. Ask what the price includes, whether it can start with a photo walkthrough and what happens if the work runs long.

Can the team find and keep valuables?

Teams usually check drawers, closets and pockets for cash, jewelry and papers and set them aside for the family. Tell the crew what to look for, and ask how found items will be returned to you.

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 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.

What if the death was unattended and the home needs biohazard cleanup first?

Then biohazard cleanup comes before sorting. A team removes affected materials, cleans, disinfects and treats odor. After that, the home can be sorted safely. Many teams can do both parts, so ask when you call.
