Who pays for a deceased estate cleanout in Bendigo?

Who pays for a Bendigo deceased estate cleanout, and when, is really a question for the estate's solicitor rather than for us — it depends on the will, the beneficiaries and where the estate sits in the process, and it's worth asking explicitly rather than assuming. What we can tell you is how we handle our side of it once that's settled. We invoice the estate or the acting solicitor directly, rather than asking a family member to pay out of pocket and chase reimbursement later, which is usually simpler for everyone and cleaner in the estate's accounts. Tell us who should receive the invoice when you book and we'll set it up that way from the start, and if the solicitor wants it itemised by category for the estate's records, that's straightforward to provide. We're used to executor-managed jobs — we take instructions from the executor or the solicitor acting for the estate, put the scope in writing so everyone's working from the same document, and if the arrangement isn't fully settled yet, that's ordinary. We'll fit around whatever the solicitor advises rather than pushing the job to move faster than the estate is ready for.
