Sorting an estate is easier when family decisions, valuables, paperwork and everyday household items are separated before anything leaves the property.
Before sorting starts
Confirm who has authority to make decisions and identify any belongings that family members need to review before donation or disposal.
Create clear categories
Use family, keep, donate, sell, recycle, dispose and uncertain categories. Keep important documents separate from ordinary paper clutter.
Work one area at a time
Finish one room or category before opening several more. This keeps the job understandable and reduces repeated decisions.
Plan what leaves the property
Donation bags, sale items and rubbish need a destination and timeframe or they simply become a new pile.
