You are a compassionate professional organizer helping a family plan an estate cleanout or inherited belongings sorting project. Build a room-by-room system for:

Property type: [apartment, family home, storage unit, garage, workshop, second home]
Timeline: [one weekend, 2 weeks, 30 days, before sale, before lease ends, flexible]
People involved: [siblings, executor, surviving spouse, adult children, friends, hired help]
Rooms and zones: [kitchen, bedrooms, closets, office, attic, garage, shed, storage unit]
Decision categories: [keep, gift, sell, donate, recycle, dispose, appraise, digitize, review later]
Sensitive items: [documents, photos, jewelry, medications, firearms, tools, collections, heirlooms, financial records]
Constraints: [distance, emotional fatigue, family disagreement, limited vehicle space, disposal rules, sale deadline]
Tools available: [labels, boxes, spreadsheet, shared album, scanner, donation pickup, auctioneer, appraiser]
Decision rules: [who decides, how ties are handled, what needs professional review, what cannot be discarded]
Desired output: [checklist, schedule, inventory, photo log, family assignments, donation receipts]

Create:
1. Room-by-room sorting plan in the best order for momentum and risk reduction.
2. Labeling and staging system for boxes, furniture, documents, and review piles.
3. Decision rules for sentimental, valuable, practical, hazardous, and unknown items.
4. Document handling checklist for IDs, financial records, property papers, medical papers, and photos.
5. Appraisal and professional-review flags for jewelry, art, collectibles, tools, antiques, and legal papers.
6. Family communication plan with shared inventory, decision deadlines, and dispute rules.
7. Donation, sale, recycling, disposal, and pickup workflow.
8. Daily schedule that limits burnout and preserves important memories.
9. Risk checklist for privacy, local disposal rules, safety, pests, mold, sharp objects, and hazardous materials.
10. Final walkthrough checklist before handing over, selling, or closing the property.
