In an instant you are confronted with funeral and burial details, notifying family members, arranging travel, rearranging work schedules, and getting the kids out of school.  Once you have completed the memorial service for your loved one, as the Executor of the estate you are now faced with identifying and closing financial accounts and utilities, contacting attorneys, movers, cleaning services, probating wills, and the list goes on.

Now that you have completed all of those tasks, you may be left with a vacant home, full of personal belongings from this individuals past life.  What are you going to do with all of the belongings that they have collected over a lifetime?  Who is going to mow the yard while we list the home for sale?  Who is going to be available to check on the home to make sure it hasn’t been broken into or vandalized? What are going to be the carrying costs of insurance & utilities while we wait for the home to sell?  What if the property doesn’t sell?
