さらに、ご遺族様の持ち物ですので、親族がその価値を知らず、鑑定をした際にその価値に驚くこともあります。また、まさかこれが⁈という場合もございますので、売却・保管かかわらず、ひとまずはその価値のわかる専門業者による鑑定をおすすめします。それにしても、どれが価値があるものかわからない場合は空き家丸ごと出張鑑定することも可能ですので、処分する前に検討されてみてはいかがでしょうか。

それではごきげんよう。（スタッフY）

Continuing from last time, we’ll discuss “Inheritance and Antique Purchasing.”
Today, let’s talk about something a bit more relatable: clearing out vacant homes.

At Fūkosha Antiques, we’ve seen a significant increase lately in inquiries from people wanting to clean out their vacant family homes or dispose of everything entirely. For those whose family home is far from their own residence, or who lack the time to tackle it slowly, cleaning out a vacant house can be a daunting task.

However, leaving a vacant house untouched carries risks: the building deteriorates, it can become a hotbed for crime, and it may lead to neighborhood disputes or increased financial burdens. Deciding how to proceed is essential. As a first step, why not start by clearing out the belongings inside the house?

Clearing out a vacant family home involves significant differences in cost and effort depending on whether you do it yourself or hire a professional, and the scope of the cleanup. Here are key points for proceeding and estimated costs.

Approach to clearing out:
First, create an overall plan and start by sorting items into “necessary,” “discard,” and “hold” categories. 1. Create a plan
First, decide in advance among family/relatives who will take which heirlooms and how costs will be shared.
2. Clearing out can take several months to over a year.
Sorting and Separation:
Keep necessary items: Select and store sentimental items or things you plan to use going forward.
Discard items: Arrange disposal for unwanted clothing, old furniture, broken appliances, etc.
Hold items: Place items you’re unsure about temporarily into a holding box without immediate decision.
3. Disposing of Unwanted Items
Dispose of waste according to local government rules or use a junk removal service. After cleaning up, thoroughly clean the entire house.

Now, during this sorting stage, relatives often find antiques or fine art pieces cherished by the deceased. They frequently struggle with questions like: Is this valuable? Can it be disposed of? Here are some points to consider:

1. Avoid careless disposal: Don’t discard items lightly just because you don’t know their value. Always have them appraised by an expert.
2. Consideration with inheritance procedures: Since antiques are part of the inheritance estate, if you are considering renouncing your inheritance, be careful not to dispose of valuable items without authorization.
3. Tax implications: Selling an antique item or set valued at over 300,000 yen may be subject to taxation as capital gains. When selling, be sure to confirm the tax implications as well.

In any case, to avoid trouble, it is advisable for relatives to share information and confirm details among themselves.

Furthermore, since these belong to the deceased, relatives may be unaware of their value and surprised upon appraisal. There are also cases where items turn out to be unexpectedly valuable. Therefore, whether selling or storing, we recommend having them appraised by a specialist who can determine their worth. If you’re unsure which items hold value, we also offer on-site appraisals for entire vacant properties. Why not consider this before disposal?

Take care. (Staff Y)
