- If you have decided to rid yourself of unwanted
items, you may then arrange to make a charitable
donation or hold a yard sale. Arrange to dispose of
any items not sold or donated.
- If you have decided to pack some or all of your
belongings, you may purchase packing materials such as
new or perhaps used cartons, packing papers, tape,
etc. from your mover.
- Make arrangements to transfer all applicable
records such as school transcripts, insurance
coverage, medical and veterinary records, drivers and
any other licenses.
- Check and clear tax issues on your current
property.
- If necessary, make special arrangements for
appraisals on particularly high value objects. i.e.
art, antiques, etc.
- Cancel or transfer any memberships/subscriptions
to organizations, clubs, magazines and newspapers.
Return library books or other borrowed materials.
- Familiarize yourself with your new town or city
through your local Chamber of Commerce, neighborhood
programs or on the Internet.

schools in the area and initiate registration
procedures. Involve your children in the move process.
