Questions Families Ask About Cleaning Out a House After a Death in Andorra, Philadelphia, PA
Can the team find and keep valuables?

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.
Can a cleanout be done while the family lives far away?

What is the best way to clean out my parents' home after their death?

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.
How much does an estate cleanout cost?
