What should I keep before a deceased estate cleanout in Bendigo?

Before a deceased estate cleanout in Bendigo, set aside anything the executor, solicitor or family may need to review first — wills, titles, bank papers, photos, jewellery, medals, firearms paperwork, and anything that could have resale or probate value. We say this early because once a house is cleared, disputes about what was removed get harder to resolve, and beneficiaries may reasonably ask later what happened to a particular item. In Bendigo's older family homes we regularly find sheds, tool collections and cupboards full of records that don't look important until someone actually checks them — a biscuit tin at the back of a wardrobe, an envelope taped under a drawer. We work in stages specifically so valuables and donation items get set aside first, with only what genuinely can't be kept or reused going out last. We can catalogue set-aside items as we find them, work from a written list if the executor has one, and coordinate directly with family if they're interstate and can't be there in person. If you're not sure what's worth setting aside, tell us and we'll flag anything that looks like it should be reviewed before it's touched.
