Will valuables and important papers be kept?

Yes. Crews look through piles for cash, jewelry, photos, documents and keepsakes, and set them aside for the owner or family. Anyone can name items that must not be hauled before work starts.

Who pays for a hoarder house cleanout?

Usually the owner. For an estate, the estate pays or the cost comes from the sale of the house. Family members sometimes share it. In a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant.

Does the resident have to agree to the cleanout?
