Start by setting aside papers, photos and valuables. Then sort the rest by room into keep, donate, sell and dispose, and clean the home last. A cleanout team can do the heavy parts while you decide what matters. Photos of each room help family members decide from far away.
A cluttered home takes more time, and the sorting needs even more care. Crews set up safe paths, look for hazards and sort slowly. Ask the team what extra steps apply to dense contents.
Do not rush to clear the house, and do not throw anything away before checking for papers, valuables and keepsakes. Do not make large decisions in the first days. Ask for help, and ask an attorney before disposing of anything with legal weight.
In many cases the cost is paid from the person's estate, by family members or by the person named to handle the estate. Insurance may help with biohazard cleanup but is less likely to pay for sorting and hauling. Questions about authority and payment are best answered by an attorney.
