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

What should I ask an estate cleanout company before hiring?

Ask how it protects papers and valuables, how it deals with hazards and where items go. Ask what the price includes, whether it can start with a photo walkthrough and what happens if the work runs long.

How long does it take to clean out a house after someone dies?
