Can a solicitor arrange a deceased estate cleanout in Bendigo?

Yes, but whether a solicitor should be the one instructing us — rather than the executor directly — is really a decision for them and the estate, not something we'd presume to answer. In practice we work with solicitors regularly: on access, written instructions, staged removals and invoicing the estate or the acting solicitor directly, especially when a property needs to be cleared for sale or handed back to an aged-care facility on a deadline. What matters to us isn't who is technically doing the calling; it's that everyone agrees on what must be kept, what can be donated, and what can be removed, and that we have that in writing before anything leaves the property. If a solicitor is coordinating the job, we'll document valuables and keep-items as we go, follow the estate's written instructions rather than verbal ones where it matters, and invoice the executor or the estate correctly the first time — reconstructing that paperwork after the fact is far harder than getting it right as we go. If you're a solicitor calling on a client's behalf, tell us that upfront and we'll set the whole job up around it from the first conversation.
