What probate clearance means
Probate clearance is the clearance of a deceased person's property on behalf of the executor or administrator, carried out with an inventory and photographic record so removals can be accounted for in the estate.
Executors are in an awkward position: they are legally accountable for the estate's assets, but often live miles away and have never seen most of what is in the house. The clearance therefore has to produce evidence, not just an empty property.
We survey with the executor or solicitor, agree in writing what is being removed and what is being retained, then photograph every room before anything moves. Jewellery, documents, medals, photographs and anything that reads as personal are boxed and left in one place rather than taken.
Key takeaways
- Instructed by the executor, administrator or acting solicitor in writing
- Room-by-room photographs before and after, plus an itemised inventory
- Saleable items offset against the clearance price and shown on the quote
- Same crew from survey to completion — no rotating subcontractors
What is included
- Free on-site survey with the executor, family member or solicitor
- Written inventory of everything removed
- Documents, photographs and personal effects boxed and set aside
- Broom-swept finish ready for valuation, sale or handover to an agent
