Handling an Inherited Property in Estonia: Clearing a Home After a Death in the Family

A relative has passed, and the property they left behind still contains furniture and household belongings. Once the family has decided what is staying and what can be removed, the physical clearance can be scoped.

Deciding what is staying before clearance is scoped

Once it is clear which items are staying and which can be removed, GOLOG can assess the physical scope of the clearance.

What to show for a quote

For a quote, it helps to show every room, mention the floor and whether there is a lift, and describe roughly what kind of furniture and household items are in the property.

A real inherited-apartment case

One real job involved a 2-room apartment on the 4th floor of a building with no lift. A relative arranged the clearance, and the property was being prepared for sale.

The apartment mostly held older furniture from the Soviet era and ordinary household items. Two workers handled the clearance, which took about 2.5 hours.

What access and volume meant for the job

Carrying items down four floors without a lift affects the amount of work involved, alongside the volume and type of furniture in the apartment.

Where clearance ended in this case

This particular job did not include a separate cleaning stage. That is specific to this case, not a general rule for every inherited-property clearance.
