Do I deadhead hellebores?

Deadhead your flowers.
Deadheading also helps the plant put its energy towards new blooms, rather than trying to keep the old blooms alive. Cut the stems all the way off at the base.

Should I cut the leaves off my hellebores?

As soon as the new growth appears, these old leaves can be cut away, slicing them right at the base. If your old foliage is undamaged and still looks good, it's not necessary to prune them right away, but once the new grow starts to leaf out, you'll want to make way for them by removing the old growth.
