How do you keep a clear record of what was sold in an estate clear-out?
Short answer: Keep a simple list of what was sold, the date, the buyer, the weight or quantity and the amount received, along with the receipts or weighing dockets, and pass a copy to the executor, because a clear record shows that the clear-out was handled openly and gives the estate what it needs for its accounts.
