Avoid the costly mistake most Executors make when clearing out a loved one’s home.
You’ve just been named the Executor of an estate. The initial shock is wearing off, and now you are standing in your loved one’s living room. You know you eventually need to sell the house. But right now, you can’t even see the floor.
The "Dumpster" Mistake The biggest mistake I see families make is ordering a dumpster on Day 1. In an effort to "clean up," they accidentally throw away items that estate liquidators could have sold. That old "junk" jewelry? It might be vintage Bakelite.
The Solution: The 4-Box System To help you navigate this massive task, I’ve developed a simple system specifically for Executors. It’s called the Estate Cleanout Kit, and it stops the overwhelm by breaking the house down into four simple categories:
- Keep
- Sell
- Donate
- Toss
Get the Free Guide I have compiled this system into a free, printable PDF guide. It includes a "Do Not Throw" Checklist to help you make fast choices without the guilt.

What About the House? Once the house is clean, your next step is determining the value of the real estate itself. Whether the home is in Long Beach, Torrance, or Downtown LA, call me for a Probate Strategy Session to discuss the property’s value and Prop 19 tax implications.
