PREPARING FOR A MOVE
There are many tasks that need to be completed prior to a move. Staying on top of the things that must be done during the month prior to moving can make moving less stressful. Use this list to help you stay organized:
Decide what you want to move to your new house or office, and start packing
Get change of address forms from the post office
Schedule utilities to be disconnected at your current place and reconnected at your new place
Call insurance companies to have coverage cancelled or transferred to your new address
Sell, give away or throw out any items that you don’t want to move
Get estimates from movers and then decide on a moving company
Empty your basement, shed, and any other structure, and determine if items in them will be moved, sold, donated to charity, or thrown away
If necessary, contact your children’s schools and have their records forwarded to their new schools
Begin using items that can’t be moved like household cleaners and frozen food items
Make travel plans for getting to your new location on the day of the move
