Probate & Estate Clearance FAQs

Can a house be cleared before probate is granted?

It can depend on the circumstances of the estate, so it is always best to check with the executor or solicitor first. We are happy to work to their instructions and can wait until probate is granted if needed.

Will you look out for important documents and valuables?

Yes. Our team sorts carefully as we clear, setting aside paperwork, photographs, jewellery and anything that looks personal or valuable so the family can review it.

Can you work directly with our solicitor?

Absolutely. We regularly liaise with solicitors, executors and estate agents, including collecting keys and providing quotes and records for the estate.

Do family members need to attend?

Not unless you want to. Many families prefer to visit first to take what they want, then leave the rest of the clearance to us.

What happens to items nobody wants?

Usable items are donated to charity or passed on for reuse, recyclables are recycled, and anything remaining is disposed of responsibly through licensed facilities.
