- No. Leave behind anything you don't want, buyers in qualified independent buyers handle the cleanout after closing as part of the as-is purchase.
- What if there are multiple heirs?
- As long as the title can be transferred (probate complete or executor authority granted), proceeds are wired to a single closing account and split per the will or agreement.

- Paid off at closing from sale proceeds. Ohio title companies handle the payoff and recording, you don't write a check.
