Clearing an estate in Versoix, without being rushed
Emptying the home of someone who has died is rarely urgent, even when it feels that way. In Versoix the properties are varied: large régie-managed (managing agent) rental blocks near the Versoix railway station and along the Route de Suisse, older flats in the Bourg, PPE (condominium) buildings at La Bécassière, Montfleury and Richelien with their private cellar and attic compartments, houses on the Chemin de la Scie and around Port-Choiseul, and hillside properties towards the Route de Sauverny near the Sauverny and Bogis-Bossey border. We work room by room, with the heirs, and set aside papers, photographs, jewellery, medals, collections and older furniture before anything at all leaves the property.
Nothing is removed while the legal position is still open. If the succession has not been accepted, has been renounced, or a bénéfice d'inventaire (public inventory of the estate) has been requested, we hold everything in place and wait. Once the notaire, the certificat d'héritier (certificate of inheritance) or the executor confirms who decides, we clear in the agreed order: kept by an heir, donated, sold, recycled, disposed of. Pricing is based on weight, volume and access, confirmed after a discreet visit, so you know the figure before the first van arrives.
Why families in Versoix ask us to handle an estate clearance
Patience over speed
We do not push a date. Sorting can be spread over several sessions, paused for a valuation or an heir arriving from abroad, and resumed when the family is ready.
Documents and valuables handled properly
Bank statements, insurance policies, title deeds, tax files, letters, photographs, jewellery, medals, collections and artwork are separated, listed in a written inventory and handed over against a photographic protocol.
Legal framework respected
We work with the notaire, the Willensvollstrecker or executor and the heirs' agreement. While acceptance, renunciation or a bénéfice d'inventaire is pending, nothing is discarded.
Régie deadlines in Versoix
Versoix has a real rental stock, so a lease is often terminated soon after a death and the return window is short. We plan the clearance backwards from the état des lieux (handover inspection) date, add the final cleaning and help protect the garantie de loyer (rental deposit).
Independent valuations, honest figures
Antiques, artwork, watches, rugs and wine are referred to an independent specialist. We do not buy the estate ourselves and we do not talk items down to make a clearance simpler.
Separated waste streams
Scrap metal (ferraille), wood, bulky waste (encombrants), WEEE electrical appliances and hazardous waste are separated on site and taken to the déchetterie (recycling centre), with reusable items left at the espace de récupération or given to charities.
How an estate clearance works in Versoix
- 1
First contact and legal position
A call with no obligation. We ask who is authorised to decide: the heirs by common agreement, the executor, or the notaire holding the certificat d'héritier. If the position is not yet settled, we note it and plan around it rather than starting.
- 2
Discreet visit and fixed quote
We walk the flat or house, the cellar and attic compartments, the garage and any outbuildings, and check access: stairwell width, lift, parking on the Route de Suisse or in the Bourg, private lanes on the lake side. You then receive one fixed quote in CHF, which we can send to every heir in identical form.
- 3
Sorting, inventory and valuation
Room by room we separate documents and valuables, list them, and photograph the handover. Anything that may have market value waits for the independent valuer's opinion. Nothing is moved out of the property during this stage.
- 4
Clearance and waste separation
Items kept by the heirs are set aside or delivered, donations go to charities, resale items to the agreed channel, and the remainder is separated by stream for the déchetterie. Heirs abroad can approve each stage from photographs or a video walkthrough.
- 5
Cleaning and handover
Final cleaning of the flat or house, then the état des lieux with the régie, or the handover of keys to the notaire or the buyer. We attend the inspection with you if that helps.

Our estate clearance service in Versoix
Versoix has two faces, and an estate clearance looks quite different in each. Along the Route de Suisse and around the Versoix railway station, served by the Léman Express, there are large rental blocks under régie management, plus the older flats of the Bourg and the PPE buildings of La Bécassière, Montfleury and Richelien. Many of these homes have been occupied by the same elderly tenant for decades, so the accumulation is dense: full cellar and attic compartments, a garage box, wardrobes that have not been opened in years. Because the rental stock is real here, the lease is usually terminated shortly after the death and the return deadline is tight, which is why we plan backwards from the état des lieux date.
On the lake side, around Port-Choiseul and its harbour and along the Chemin de la Scie, and on the slopes towards the Route de Sauverny near the Sauverny and Bogis-Bossey border, the properties are larger and quieter: long private lanes, boathouse or workshop storage, garden sheds. We reduce team size, use unmarked vehicles and agree the hours with you, exactly as we do for properties bordering Genthod, Bellevue, Collex-Bossy and Céligny.
Versoix families are often international, and it is common for one or more heirs to live outside Switzerland. In that case we work with written approvals: a photographic report per room, a video walkthrough before clearance, and the same fixed quote sent to every heir so that no one has to decide on trust alone.

Frequently asked questions — Estate / Probate Clearance in Versoix
How do you protect documents and valuables?
Sorting is done room by room, with you present whenever possible. Bank and insurance papers, title deeds, tax files, letters, photographs, jewellery, medals, collections and artwork are separated, written into an inventory and handed over against a photographic protocol. If a valuation is wanted, we wait for the result before anything leaves the property.
Do you coordinate with the notaire and the other heirs?
Yes. We follow the estate's timeline, speak with the notaire, the executor or the Willensvollstrecker, and send the same fixed quote to every heir so the decision can be taken calmly. Where a certificat d'héritier (certificate of inheritance) is being issued, we wait for it rather than working on assumptions.
What if the succession has not been accepted yet?
Then we do not clear. While acceptance, renunciation or a bénéfice d'inventaire is still open, the contents must stay where they are. We can carry out the visit, prepare the quote and draw up an inventory in the meantime, so that the clearance can start on the day the position is confirmed.
The régie has given us a short deadline. Can you work to it?
Usually yes. Versoix has a genuine rental stock, so short return windows after a death are common. Tell us the état des lieux (handover inspection) date at the first call: we plan the clearance and the final cleaning backwards from it, and we can attend the inspection with you to help protect the garantie de loyer (rental deposit).
How do you handle antiques, artwork or a wine cellar?
Anything that may carry market value is put to one side and referred to an independent specialist for antiques, art, watches, rugs or wine. We do not purchase estate contents ourselves, so there is no interest in undervaluing an item. If a piece turns out to be worth little, we say so plainly.
Some of the heirs live abroad. Can they follow the clearance?
Yes, and it is common in Versoix. We photograph each room before and after, provide a video walkthrough where useful, and ask for written approval per stage. Documents and valuables are listed and either held for collection or sent according to the instructions of the notaire and the heirs.
What happens to everything that is cleared?
Items kept by the heirs are set aside first. Usable furniture and household goods go to charities or the espace de récupération, resale items to the agreed channel. The rest is separated by stream: ferraille (scrap metal), wood, encombrants (bulky waste), WEEE electrical appliances and hazardous waste, all taken to a Geneva déchetterie (recycling centre).
Do you cover cellars, attic compartments and garages in PPE buildings?
Yes. In the PPE (condominium) buildings of La Bécassière, Montfleury and Richelien, and in the blocks near the station, the cellar and attic compartments and the garage box often hold as much as the flat itself. We record them at the visit so they are inside the fixed quote, not added later.
How is the price set?
On weight, volume and access: how much there is, what streams it separates into, and how far it has to be carried to the vehicle. We give the figure in CHF after the visit and we do not quote by telephone from a description alone. Cleaning before the état des lieux or a sale can be added to the same quote.
