01 / THE PLANProperty clearance alongside estate administration
Clearing a home may be one of several practical tasks during estate administration. We focus on the property and its contents: understanding what needs to be cleared, what must be retained and who is coordinating access and decisions.
02 / THE PLANConfirm authority and priorities
Before work begins, the person arranging the clearance should confirm they have authority to proceed and that the family or executor has agreed what should happen to the contents. Legal, tax and probate questions should be directed to the relevant professional.
03 / THE PLANA documented scope
The assessment can cover rooms, contents, items to retain, access, timing and handover. If decision-makers are in different countries, we can discuss a communication plan and progress updates suited to the job.
04 / THE PLANAfter the clearance
The handover can be arranged around the next step for the home. We agree in advance what areas and contents are included in the clearance.
