How do you clean out a loved one's home?

How much does an estate cleanout cost?

What if there is hoarding or a lot of clutter?

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.
