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.
Does insurance cover an estate cleanout?
Insurance may help with biohazard cleanup after a death in the home, depending on the policy. It is less likely to pay for sorting and hauling belongings. Call your insurer before cleanup starts, take photos if you can and keep every receipt.
What is the forty day rule after a death?
It is not a Texas cleanout rule. Some faiths and families observe a period of mourning with a set length, and customs vary. Texas law does not make an estate cleanout wait for a number of days. Questions about the estate itself go to an attorney.
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.
