Begin with one call and one room. Ask a team what the steps are, and decide only what you must today. You can pause at any point. If the grief feels like too much, 988 offers support by call or text at any hour.
Will important papers and keepsakes be protected?

What not to do after a parent dies?
Do not rush to clear the house, and do not throw anything away before checking for papers, valuables and keepsakes. Do not make large decisions in the first days. Ask for help, and ask an attorney before disposing of anything with legal weight.
What should I ask an estate cleanout company before hiring?
Ask how it protects papers and valuables, how it deals with hazards and where items go. Ask what the price includes, whether it can start with a photo walkthrough and what happens if the work runs long.
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?
Usually not for the whole job. Many families join for a first walkthrough or look at items by photo or video. Ask how keys, access and decisions can be sorted out by phone. You can also ask the team to pause while you go through the rooms.
