Top 4 Reasons For an Estate Cleanout

May 01, 2022

When occupying a certain property, it is normal to have garbage of all sorts, most of which is taken out during the periodic trash pickups. However, there are other periods when the garbage could be too much that you need unique collection and disposal services. Below are four such instances when an estate cleanout might be necessary. 

1. After the Death of the Homeowner

There are numerous ways to deal with grief. This could include holding on to the property your loved one left behind. When you have to sort through their house and select what to keep and what not to, you will essentially be doing a cleanout. It is quite obvious that you will want to keep the personal stuff and anything else that holds sentimental value. However, for plenty of the other items, you will want to either donate or dispose of them. 

2. When Downsizing or Undergoing a Major Lifestyle Change

With the current economy being so unpredictable, downsizing could be something you consider. This could make you have to get rid of some of your stuff so that you can fit in the smaller house you relocate to. The same case applies when you are undergoing retirement or moving into an elderly care residence. An estate cleanout will help you establish what you need to hold on to and take with you to your new life and also decide what to do with the rest of your belongings.

3. Due to Debt/Foreclosure

Being in debt can be a traumatic experience, which gets even more horrific when you face foreclosure. Since you will be in a hurry to move out, you may want to sell some of your furnishings and other belongings to get some quick cash. This could necessitate a cleanout to determine what you should sell and what you can manage to hold on to.

4. After a Divorce 

A divorce can be bitter and it mostly ends in one of the partners having to find another place to live. This means that one or both partners will have to sort through the shared belongings and divide them or establish who gets to keep what. An estate cleanout ensures that the process is thorough and that both partners part ways amicably.
