Probate advice
In many cases, no. While probate may be required before a property can be sold, the contents of the property can often be sorted and cleared beforehand.
You may need probate before selling a property, but not necessarily before clearing it. In many situations, the house contents can be sorted and removed earlier.
A common question families ask after a bereavement is whether they need to wait for probate before arranging a clearance. In many cases, the answer is no.
Before arranging a house clearance, executors should identify anything that needs to be protected, retained, or passed on to family members.
Once these items have been removed or clearly set aside, a house clearance can usually go ahead without waiting for probate to be completed.
