Can the team find and keep valuables?

How long does it take to clean out a house after someone dies?
It depends on the size of the home, the amount of belongings and how many decisions remain. A small apartment can take a day or two, while a full house takes longer. A team can give a timeline after a walkthrough or a look at photos.
