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

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

How much does an estate cleanout cost?
It depends on the size of the home, the amount of belongings, stairs and access, and whether biohazard cleanup is needed. A team can give a price range after hearing the details. Ask what the range includes.
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.
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.
