How much does an estate cleanout cost?

Will important papers and keepsakes be protected?
Yes, you can ask how the team protects them. Many teams set aside papers, photos and jewelry first and return them to the family. Tell the team what to look for. Photos and papers are usually found early, before large items are moved.
Can the team find and keep valuables?

Who pays for an estate cleanout?
