Contracted this company to clear the flat of my deceased mother. Two young guys cleared EVERYTHING out of the rented property, including furniture, carpets, ornaments, white goods and food/household products, politely, efficiently, and respectfully. Excellent service.

The guys from Northern House Clearance have just cleared a house for me in Scotland. The house was packed not only with a lifetimes worth of memories, but all the clutter that goes with it. Within 2 days it was emptied down to the floorboards. A great job from a good team of lads. Highly recommended.

An excellent 5 star service. Firstly the compassion shown due to the circumstances which resulted in having to use their services, not just on the phone but by the team who arrived, on time, to perform the job. Above all a friendly attitude goes a long way in stressful times. Professional from the start to the end of the day and due to the amount of clutter a second day was needed. I could not believe how much was cleared in just one day, it was as if the clutter had it's own clutter to clear. Hope that I never need to use them again, but if I have to clear another property they will be the only people that I call. Highly recommend them. G.Hatton. Cheshire.

The team arrived bang on time and began work immediately. They continued for five solid days and completed the entire clearance of my late uncles house, which was a case of extreme hoarding over many decades. They even removed carpets, curtains and swept up so the house was ready for sale. They were exeptionally hard working, polite and charged a reasonable price for this incredibly difficult job. Terrific service, absolutely recommended.

Probate Valuation Of Chattels: No money to pay for the funeral?

If you ask a funeral director to conduct the funeral, you have made a contract agreeing to pay for the funeral. So the executor or administrator should do this, and make sure that there is enough money in the estate to pay for the funeral. Otherwise, you should be willing to pay for any of the bill that won’t be covered by the estate.

The person who takes responsibilty for arranging the funeral has to be claiming the appropriated means-tested benefit in order to be eligible for a Funeral Payment grant from the Social Fund of the Benefits Agency. For more information about this situation, contact the Department of Social Security.

What if there isn’t enough money to pay the person’s debts?

When someone dies, their debts don’t die with them. They have to be paid out of the person’s estate. If there is not enough money to pay for all the debts, they must be paid in a particular order. This is:

1. the funeral expenses and ‘testamentary’ expenses (those to do with dealing with the will);
2. the Inland Revenue;
3. Customs and Excise;
4. Social Security; and
5. unpaid pension contributions or wages.

This can be done rather like a bankruptcy or by the personal representatives.

If all the debts can be paid, but there isn’t enough money left to pay everything set out in the will, the legacies (those where a specific amount is mentioned) will be paid first, and other people mentioned will get what is left over.

If there is not enough to pay all the legacies, the people entitled to the legacies will get a proportion of what they have been left, depending on how much money is available. The other people mentioned in the will will get nothing.
