What is an estate hoarding cleanout?
An estate hoarding cleanout is the sorting, removal and cleaning of a deceased person's hoarded home on behalf of heirs or an executor. It includes searching for documents, valuables and keepsakes, removing clutter and debris, handling biohazards or unattended death cleanup if needed, and preparing the property for sale or transfer.
Finding what matters in the middle of everything
Hoarded estates often hold important things buried under years of accumulation: wills, deeds, titles, bank statements, cash, jewelry, family photos and heirlooms. A dumpster-first approach risks losing them forever.
We sort methodically and set aside documents, valuables and personal items for the family or executor. If the loved one passed in the home and was not found right away, we also handle unattended death cleanup, so heirs are not exposed to what was left behind.
What we look for while sorting
- Wills, deeds, titles and legal papers
- Bank, retirement and insurance statements
- Cash, coins and jewelry
- Photos, letters and family keepsakes
- Firearms and medications for safe handling
- Keys, safes and lockboxes
