Questions families ask us

Hawthorn Estate Co. handles the contents of an estate for families in Greenville and the surrounding Upstate. We sort, sell, donate, and clear the house, and executors get one point of contact and a clear plan.

It depends on the estate and on who has legal authority over the belongings. When an estate goes through probate, the personal representative appointed by the probate court, such as the Greenville County Probate Court, typically has that authority. Please check with your attorney about your situation, and we will plan the sale around their guidance.
