Most everyone reaches the stage of life when they have to consider what to do with a loved ones estate. If you are estate moving in Houston here are some things you need to know.
Deciding what to do when your are moving an estate, or the estate of a loved one who has passed on is a delicate process. An estate includes one's home, cars, and possessions that are of value in the eyes of the law. Things included in an estate are furniture, artwork, china, and antiques.
People may decide to split up an estate and ship it to different family members around the country. Sometimes it is difficult to get all the family members in the same place to split up an estate. And then there is still the matter of getting heavy, large, or fragile items delivered to their new homes. It may be helpful to hire a company to help with shipping these important items. Large items can be shipped by freight or on a small load moving truck, and smaller items are shipped by common carriers like UPS or FedEx. A household of furniture can even be sent overseas in a 20 or 40 foot shipping container.
Often, if someone is planning on moving into a retirement home, they need to split up their estate among different family members and chose what to bring with them to the retirement home. For example, a person moving into a retirement home in Houston may decide to send their piano to their son in Austin, their dining room table to their daughter in Albuquerque, and bring their couches and dishes with them. An estate mover can help them separate out the items if necessary and get them where they need to go.
