Can an executor remove property before a grant of probate? 

The house was owned by a hoarder and is a mess of empty boxes, newspapers, magazines, boxes of old VHS tapes, sound tape cassettes, books, old furniture and  and an assortment of cheap $2 shop items. Most of the furniture is dilapidated and proving impossible to give away. 

I would like to employ a removalist company as soon as possible so I can begin preparing the home itself for sale. 

Thank you in advance for an opinion I can take under consideration.
