My family went through this with my granddad's passing a couple years back.
He was a handyman and a do-it-yourselfer and had been his entire life. His house wasn't 'hoarding' bad, but it was jammed with 'stuff'. Especially his 4 car garage (of which, one door was for his car, 3 for his shop).
My parents probably spent a month going through everything, and getting what they and other family members wanted out/sorted. Then brought in an auction company with the instructions to take and batch-sell the rest of it. Worked pretty good, but it was a 3 month process in the end.
