Disposal of personal possessions
If the deceased has left furniture or other personal effects, arrangements will be made to dispose of these items to offset the cost of the funeral.
If the property is rented from the council, we will enter the property to complete a full inventory, including comprehensive photos, to determine the value of the furniture and/or personal effects. If any of the items are considered to be valuable, arrangements will be made for a professional removal company to pack and store them securely for six months before disposal. This will allow time for family members the opportunity to pursue any legal measures they wish to undertake to deal with the deceased estate.
