Our approach<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

What you can expect from us<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Clearing out a home after a death requires a different approach than a regular cleanup. We take the time needed.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n \t\t\t

Discreet and quiet<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We work calmly and respectfully, without rushing unnecessarily. What\u2019s inside the home stays between us.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Personal items set aside<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We set aside any jewelry, documents, photos, or furniture that the family wishes to keep. Please let us know in advance what should be kept.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Even without your presence<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Through a key handover, in consultation with the notary, the landlord, or a family member. You do not have to be present if you do not want to or are unable to.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Proof of disposal<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

For the notary, the estate file, or the landlord. We\u2019ll send photos of the empty home upon request.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Good to Know<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Before You Begin: Inheritance and Rental Properties<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

There are a few things you should take care of before the clearance. If you\u2019re unsure, always consult with the notary first.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n \t\t\t

Haven't accepted the inheritance yet?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

According to notaris.be, clearing out the deceased\u2019s home may be considered tacit acceptance of the inheritance, including any debts. So decide first, and consult with the notary.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\tRead the practical guide \u2192\n\t<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Rental Property<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Was the deceased the last tenant, with a lease that began on January 1, 2019? If so, the lease in Flanders automatically ends at the end of the second month following the death. Be sure to schedule the clearance in a timely manner.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\tRead: How much does it cost to clear out a house after a death? \u2192\n\t<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

How quickly can you clear out the house?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Usually within 2 to 5 business days. If there is a deadline set by the notary or the landlord, we are often on site within 48 hours\u2014sometimes as soon as 24 hours\u2014with the 30% rush fee.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Can I clear out the house if the inheritance hasn't been accepted yet?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Please be careful. According to notaris.be, clearing out the home may be considered tacit acceptance of the inheritance. Therefore, consult with the notary first. You can find more information in our practical guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Do you work with notaries?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t
