Common Questions About Estate Cleanup in Lantana, TX
What not to do after a parent dies?
Do not rush to clear the house, and do not throw anything away before checking for papers, valuables and keepsakes. Do not make large decisions in the first days. Ask for help, and ask an attorney before disposing of anything with legal weight.
What happens to the items that are not kept?
They are sorted into donate, recycle and dispose. Usable items can often be donated, and the rest is hauled away. Hazardous items such as chemicals and old medicines are handled safely. Ask the team how each category is handled.
What is the best way to clean out my parents' home after their death?
Go slowly and begin with safety and paperwork. Secure documents, jewelry and photos first. Then work room by room, and ask a team to help with lifting, hauling and cleaning. Take breaks. Nothing says the whole house must be done in one weekend.
What safety standards apply if biohazard cleanup is needed?
Workers who work with blood and body fluids are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. In Texas, companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Ask any team how it disposes of waste.
Do I need to be at the home?
Usually not for the whole job. Many families join for a first walkthrough or look at items by photo or video. Ask how keys, access and decisions can be sorted out by phone. You can also ask the team to pause while you go through the rooms.
Does the Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program pay for any of this?
Only when the death involved a crime, and only for crime scene clean-up. The program pays up to $2,250 for crimes after July 14, 2016. Insurance is used first, and claims must be filed within three years. Questions go to the Attorney General's office at (800) 983-9933.
