For Executors

As executor, you sign for what happened to everything the estate held. The beneficiaries will ask, and the estate’s accounting has to show it. So we start with the record, not the truck.

We walk the whole house, and any storage unit or second property, before anything moves. Papers, photographs and family pieces go to one side first. Then we put the plan in writing: which pieces we buy outright, which go to private auction, what goes to a managed sale or to donation, and what gets cleared. You approve that plan before a single box leaves.

When this is a good fit

• You need a written account of everything in the estate for its records
• Deadlines come from the court or the beneficiaries, not from you alone
• You want one company to handle buying, auction and the final clearing

When another path may suit better

• You are the only heir, you owe no one an account, and you just want the house emptied
• Someone else has already inventoried and priced every item in the estate

The order we follow

Here is the sequence. It is the same for every estate we take on.

• You tell us your authority, your deadlines, and who else needs copies
• We walk every room, closet, attic and garage with you or someone you name
• Documents, photographs and keepsakes are pulled and held for the family
• You receive a written scope listing the routes, the exclusions and the dates
• Nothing moves until you sign that scope
• You get a closing record of every estate item that left, and by which route

Why the walkthrough comes first

A Rolex in a desk drawer. A stock certificate folded into a cookbook. A sterling flatware service still in its chest at the back of the hall closet. Send a cleanout crew in first and those go out with the rest. We look before anyone lifts, so the estate keeps what it never knew it had, and you are not left explaining a gap to a beneficiary later.

Inside the court’s calendar

The court and the beneficiaries set the pace, not us. Give us the dates you are working against and we schedule the estate work to fit them. When the estate’s attorney needs to weigh in on a question of authority, we wait for that answer before going further.
