FIND AND SET ASIDE ALL KEY FINANCIAL DOCUMENTS
PAY ATTENTION TO 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.

TRY TO FIND AND KEEP PHOTOS AND OTHER MEMORABILIA
WORK WITH FAMILY MEMBERS ON SHARING ITEMS One
strategy that can help is to have family members
create a list of the items theyd 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.
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.

DONATE OR SELL CLOTHING
HIRE AN ESTATE APPRAISER 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.
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.

GET HELP.
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.
