ESTATE CLEANOUT CHECKLIST: WHAT TO KEEP, DONATE, AND REMOVE

START WITH IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS

Before anything is moved or discarded, locate legal and financial paperwork: the will, deeds, insurance policies, tax records, and account statements. Set these aside in a clearly labeled box so nothing important gets lost in the process.

IDENTIFY ITEMS TO KEEP

Walk the home with family members and flag sentimental and valuable items first — photos, jewelry, heirlooms, and anything with meaning. Doing this early prevents rushed decisions later.

DECIDE WHAT TO DONATE

Furniture, clothing, kitchenware, and working appliances in good condition can help local NJ charities. We donate usable goods on your behalf whenever possible, so nothing salvageable is wasted.

• Gently used furniture and décor
• Clothing, linens, and shoes
• Working small appliances and kitchenware

LET US HANDLE THE REST

Once the keep and donate piles are set, our crew clears everything else — from full rooms to attics and basements — and leaves the home broom-clean and ready for sale or transfer. We work respectfully and discreetly throughout.
