Answers About Clearing a Home After a Loss in Roosevelt Grove, Milwaukee, WI

What not to do after a parent dies?

Do not rush to clear the house, and do not throw anything away before checking for papers, valuables and keepsakes. Do not make large decisions in the first days. Ask for help, and ask an attorney before disposing of anything with legal weight.

Can the team find and keep valuables?

Teams usually check drawers, closets and pockets for cash, jewelry and papers and set them aside for the family. Tell the crew what to look for, and ask how found items will be returned to you.

Is the home safe to enter after a death?

Most are, but not all. If the person died alone and was found after some time, fluids can soak into floors and furniture. Spoiled food, mold, pests and needles can also be present. If you are unsure, do not clear the area yourself.

Can the house be sold after a cleanout?

Yes. Once it has been cleared and cleaned, and any repairs are done, a home can be listed or returned. Questions about what must be disclosed are best answered by a real estate attorney or agent.

Do I need to be at the home?

Usually not for the whole job. Many families join for a first walkthrough or look at items by photo or video. Ask how keys, access and decisions can be sorted out by phone. You can also ask the team to pause while you go through the rooms.

I am overwhelmed. Where do I begin?

Begin with one call and one room. Ask a team what the steps are, and decide only what you must today. You can pause at any point. If the grief feels like too much, 988 offers support by call or text at any hour.
