Before any items are sold, a little preparation helps avoid stress and mistakes.
Talk with your attorney or advisor
Legal and probate questions, such as who has authority to sell, belong with a qualified professional. An auction company does not provide legal advice.
Let family members choose keepsakes
Give relatives a chance to claim items of sentimental value before the sale is scheduled.
Locate important documents
Set aside titles, paperwork, photos, jewelry and cash you find while sorting.
Avoid throwing things out
Items that look ordinary can have value. Leave sorting decisions for the walk-through where possible.
Think about access
Note keys, alarm codes, gates and who may enter the property.
Request an assessment
Once ready, request a free auction assessment to discuss the contents and timeline. You can also review our estate liquidation services.
