Take the pain out of managing deceased estates

Managing a deceased estate is hard enough when you have someone who can manage the process for you, but what if you’re unable to assist? This could be due to the tyranny of distance, or you may be experiencing stress, or your calendar is already full of other responsibilities and commitments.

Take Ruth for example.  Left to handle a distant relative’s dear, two-bedroom old Queenslander, standing in the inner north of Brisbane.

Ruth spent a week going through the place, sifting through a treasure trove of memories from her many, many travels including clothes, bric a brac, slides, maps, videos and other collectables.

Ruth sorted out what she could, but the amount of ‘stuff’ was overwhelming, and with commitments back in Kingaroy, Ruth had to get home.

With foresight and good preparation, her aunt had prepared a Will and had thankfully left enough to ‘manage the estate’.

How Care to Move manages a deceased estate

This is where Care to Move came in. For this job, we managed:

  • Clearing and sorting chattels
  • Garden maintenance
  • Charity collection
  • Waste collection
  • Internal and external house cleaning
  • Liaison with estate lawyer and real estate agent
  • Returning precious items to family

See the lovely testimonials from Ruth in Kingaroy and Michael from Ray White.

The partners we worked with in this task included deGroots and Ray White Wilston. Thanks for the smooth job team.

We thought we’d show you some before and after pictures so you can see the transformation.
