3. FIND ANDSET ASIDE ALL KEYFINANCIAL DOCUMENTS PAY ATTENTIONTO DETAIL People tend to stash things in unlikely places, or forget that something valuable has been left in a coat pocket or the back of a desk drawer. Take the time to look through everything. This would include pockets in clothing, drawers, high shelves, every container, etc. Locate and secure any will, trusts and related documents; Look for life insurance policies and statements, real estate deeds and titles; obtain recent bank statements if none are in the home; retain any stock certificates; 401(k) records; tax returns and receipts. These may be necessary for filing any income tax returns.

4. TRYTOFIND ANDKEEP PHOTOS ANDOTHER MEMORABILIA WORKWITHFAMILY MEMBERSONSHARING ITEMS Often these types of items are of little value to people outside of the family. However, they are irreplaceable for family members. The idea is to think of the future of grandchildren and others who may well find these pictures, scrapbooks, albums, etc. as a physical and tangible link to family members they may never have had to privilege to meet. One strategy that can help is to have family members create a list of the items they’d like to have from the estate. While this can work well, unfortunately there are situations where conflicts and disagreements can arise. If necessary, involving outside mediators or legal help may be helpful here.

5. DONATEORSELL CLOTHING HIRE ANESTATE APPRAISER Most clothing has little resale value, unless it's vintage clothing which is typically considered as items from the early 1960s and earlier. Consignment shops can sometimes be a source for gaining some revenue from old clothing as well as eBay or yard sales. Donations are, of course, always welcome and this can be handled for you by others. If the estate is comprised of a substantial amount of furniture, jewelry and antiques it is typically worthwhile to make use of their services. An accredited professional will give you an estimate for each item and typically charges an hourly fee to do so. The cost will depend on such factors as your location and the type of appraisal you want.

6. GETHELP. The work can be overwhelming, both physically and emotionally. Some of the tasks are simply monotonous and lengthy, such as sorting through paperwork. Other tasks require physical exertion such as cleaning, moving furniture and possibly hauling items and debris. This is where the services of a professional estate cleanout service such as Junk Moovaz can be invaluable.
