Hi, I had three similar cases where Local Authorities arranged funerals and extended families would not clear the property. In all cases I managed to get emails from family to that effect and then I went ahead and got in property clearance firms. My legal beagle advised this would be sufficient. Not sure if that was a sound advice but did not have any comebacks! I presume your Licence to Occupy contains the following clause as per the AA’s template:- Unless agreed to the contrary in writing with the Charity, you agree that any possessions, chattels or goods which may remain in the accommodation after the date of termination may be disposed of by the Charity. The sale proceeds, if any, received by the Charity for such items, after payment of any outstanding WMC or other liabilities and other expenses (including disposal and/or removal costs) shall be treated as a donation to the Charity.
