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.
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.

They are sorted into donate, recycle and dispose. Usable items can often be donated, and the rest is hauled away. Hazardous items such as chemicals and old medicines are handled safely. Ask the team how each category is handled.
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.
Who cleans a house after a death?
