Will important papers and keepsakes be protected?

Do I need to be at the home?
Usually not for the whole job. Many families join for a first walkthrough or look at items by photo or video. Ask how keys, access and decisions can be sorted out by phone. You can also ask the team to pause while you go through the rooms.
What not to do after a parent dies?
