Short answer: Start by confirming who has the authority to deal with the estate's belongings, usually the executor or administrator, then sort the contents, set aside anything of sentimental or possible monetary value, list what is genuinely scrap with a buyer who can collect, and keep a record of what was sold and what was received so that it can be accounted for as part of the estate.

The person responsible for the estate generally decides what happens to its belongings, so confirm who that is before anything is sold or removed.
Sort before you sell
Working through the contents room by room and setting aside anything of value or meaning avoids regrets later.
