Yes, contents can generally be removed from a deceased person's house before a will is filed with the court, but it’s important to proceed with caution. If you're a family member or heir, it’s advisable to wait until the will is probated to avoid potential legal issues. Removing items without proper authorization may lead to disputes among heirs or claims of theft. Consulting with an attorney can help clarify your rights and responsibilities in this situation.
