Can the team find and keep valuables?

Who pays for an estate cleanout?
In many cases the cost is paid from the person's estate, by family members or by the person named to handle the estate. Insurance may help with biohazard cleanup but is less likely to pay for sorting and hauling. Questions about authority and payment are best answered by an attorney.
Who decides what is kept and what is removed?
The family or the person handling the estate decides. The team follows those directions and should confirm them with one point of contact. For legal questions about authority over a home and its contents, ask an attorney.
Do I need to be at the home?
