Eldercare responsibilities and transitioning can be a huge challenge for anyone. After the bequests of the will have earmarked select possessions to be given/donated to beneficiaries and other items not willed have been chosen by family members, there remains the unpleasant and time-consuming task of emptying the home(s) of the deceased. One of the easiest ways to handle this is to hire a company or professional who specializes in Estate Dispositions.
Here are some tips when qualifying and determining which professionals in your area are best to choose:
- Work together with family and create a plan for the project.
- Determine your involvement and how much work you’re willing to do upfront or if you’ll be leaving the entire project to the professional you choose.
- Interview professionals with your family so all your questions will be answered and everyone is on the same page.
- Be sure the professional you choose offers you different options. For example, they may not have a specific moving company in their network so the charges could add up for add-on services.
- When having an estate sale, be sure to reduce the clutter. Furniture and bulk items should be organized and arranged so that people can move and browse easily.
- Get testimonials/references from the individuals/company you choose and follow up on them.
- Be sure to determine which charities/organizations you’ll be making donations to ahead of time.
- Understand the contract ahead of time so issues don’t come up during or after the process.
