Estate cleanout checklist

The order of operations matters more than the effort: secure documents and valuables first, sort with clear zones, and only then bring in a crew. Here's the first section — the full room-by-room version is below.

Before anything else — secure these

  • Will, trust documents, and any letters of instruction
  • Deeds, vehicle titles, insurance policies, tax returns
  • Bank, investment, and utility account statements
  • Keys — house, vehicles, safe deposit, storage units
  • Cash, jewelry, firearms, and items named in the will
  • Photos, letters, and keepsakes family members have asked about

When you're ready to hire: find cleanout companies in your city, check the cost guide first, and if you're the executor, read what to know before clearing the house.
