When a loved one passes away there are so many things that have to be done, including managing the estate if you are the executor. It is even more difficult if you or the rest of the heirs live across the country. Managing estate moving doesn't have to be too burdensome. In fact, there are options when planning that can make it easier to manage during this difficult time.
• Multiple Locations.
     You should not have to worry about the various family members or heirs not  being local. Look for a company that can not only pack up the entire estate but can ship to multiple locations, which saves you a lot of headache as the executor. Even those living abroad can be a recipient since estate moving company’s ship nationally and internationally as well.

• As you do your research, ask about your various  shipping options to multiple locations.  A blanket wrap move may work best for some locations. For other family members, think about freighting   furniture. This is when you move a small amount of furniture across  country on a shipping pallet. The pallet with the furniture can be delivered to your curb. As an alternative method of delivery, the furniture can be  shipped to a receiving warehouse, unloaded and then brought inside the home as a white glove delivery.
• 
• Storage Availability.
     Many times it takes quite a while before the disposition is decided. In  these cases, look for a moving/shipping company that has the ability to move estate items into storage until things are settled appropriately.
• 
• Liquidation.
     Some heirs have no room or need for certain estate items but that doesn't mean that they have to lose out on any compensation that the items would bring. Consider using a company that can liquidate items through   eBay Listings. Let the company that you choose do all of the work for you. As long as the item is valued at more than $100 it is probably worth listing the items on eBay. The company that sells your items simply will take a percentage of the sale.  This way you do not have to hold estate sales. All you have to do is choose the item or items and then let someone  else take care of listing, selling them and then shipping the item that
was sold.

While looking at the services provided above, you should be able to find one company that can provide all of these services for you and your family. We suggest looking for a company that can handle everything from fine art and furniture to antiques and glass. Losing a loved one or friend is hard and by letting a professional moving/shipping company help you with your estate moving needs, you can focus on other issues as the executor.
