Who is responsible for house clearance after death?

Responsibility for house clearance after death usually falls to the executor named in the will or the closest next of kin if no will exists. The executor manages the deceased person’s estate, including arranging clearance, settling debts, and distributing assets. Clearance is typically organised after probate is granted, although urgent items can sometimes be removed earlier. Family members may sort personal belongings before hiring professionals to clear remaining contents. Using a licensed clearance company can ease the burden during a difficult time, ensuring items are handled respectfully and disposed of responsibly while preparing the property for sale or transfer.
