Question 1

Can you manage an estate if I live in another state?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We specialize in helping out-of-state families manage their loved one's estate in Kingman, Arizona. We coordinate everything remotely - from estate cleanouts to sales - so you don't have to travel. We provide regular updates via phone, email, text, and video calls, plus detailed photo documentation of the entire process.

Question 2

How do you keep me informed if I'm not physically present?

Accepted Answer

We provide comprehensive communication throughout the process. This includes daily progress updates, detailed photo documentation, video walkthroughs of the property, itemized lists with photos and estimated values, and scheduled calls at your convenience across time zones. You'll never wonder what's happening with your family's estate.

Question 3

What if I need to see the property before you start work?

Accepted Answer

We offer virtual property walkthroughs via video call at no additional cost. We'll walk through every room with you, showing you all contents and discussing your priorities. Many out-of-state families find this more convenient than traveling, and it allows you to make informed decisions from your home state.

Question 4

Do you charge extra for out-of-state coordination services?

Accepted Answer

No extra charges for remote coordination! Our pricing is the same whether you're local or out-of-state. We include all communication, photo documentation, and video updates in our standard service pricing. The only potential additional cost might be shipping valuable items to you, but even that's often included.

Question 5

My parent passed away and I live across the country. Where do I start?

Accepted Answer

Start with a phone call to us at (928) 385-8413. We'll guide you through the entire process step-by-step. First, we'll arrange a virtual walkthrough of the property, then create a detailed inventory with photos, discuss your goals (sale, cleanout, keeping items), and create a timeline that works for you. We handle all the logistics while keeping you informed.

Question 6

Can you help sort through personal items and family heirlooms?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We treat every item with respect and care. We'll photograph everything and categorize items (keep, sell, donate, discard) based on your instructions. For sentimental items, we provide detailed photos and can ship them to you or other family members. We understand how emotional this process is and handle everything with compassion.

Question 7

How do you handle valuable items that I want to keep?

Accepted Answer

We identify, photograph, and carefully pack valuable items for shipping to you or other family members at no additional charge. This includes jewelry, artwork, antiques, photo albums, documents, and other heirlooms. We use professional packing materials and fully insured shipping. Many families are amazed at the treasures we find and safely deliver to them.

Question 8

What happens if you find important documents during the cleanout?

Accepted Answer

We immediately photograph and secure all important documents (wills, deeds, insurance policies, financial records, etc.) and contact you right away. We can overnight ship originals to you or your attorney, or provide high-quality scanned copies while securing the originals. We understand how critical these documents can be for estate settlement.

Question 9

Can you help when moving parents into a care home?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we specialize in senior home transitions. We help coordinate the entire process of moving your parents from their longtime home into assisted living or memory care facilities. This includes downsizing possessions, coordinating estate sales for unwanted items, packing and moving essentials to the new facility, and preparing the home for sale.

Question 10

How do you handle the emotional aspects of downsizing for seniors?

Accepted Answer

We approach senior transitions with extra compassion and patience. If your parents are still living, we work directly with them to understand their preferences and ensure they feel comfortable with the decisions. We help them choose meaningful items to keep, arrange for family heirlooms to go to children/grandchildren, and handle the process with dignity and respect.

Question 11

Can you coordinate the move while I help my parents settle into their new home?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many out-of-state children focus on helping their parents adjust to the care facility while we handle the estate and home preparation. We coordinate timing so everything happens smoothly - your parents are settled in their new home while we take care of their former residence. This reduces stress for everyone involved.

Question 12

How long does a typical out-of-state estate coordination take?

Accepted Answer

Timeline varies based on your needs, but most out-of-state coordinations take 1-4 weeks. Estate cleanouts typically take 3-7 days, estate sales add 2-3 weeks for preparation and sale, while simple buyouts can be completed in 1-3 days. We work on your timeline and can expedite for urgent situations like home sales with closing deadlines.

Question 13

What if I need to sell the house quickly?

Accepted Answer

We frequently work with families who need to sell homes quickly due to financial pressures or closing deadlines. We can provide same-day response for urgent situations, work weekends if needed, and coordinate with realtors, attorneys, and closing companies. Our goal is to get the property "market-ready" as fast as possible.

Question 14

Do you work with our family attorney or financial advisor?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we regularly coordinate with estate attorneys, financial advisors, realtors, and other professionals involved in your estate settlement. We can provide detailed inventories for probate, work within court-ordered timelines, and communicate directly with your professional team to ensure everything happens according to legal requirements.
