Downsizing Diva
As Divas, we are dedicated to helping seniors and their families plan, organize and manage a move every step of the way whether it be relocating, aging in place, or decluttering their existing home.
My inspiration to become a Diva developed from my experience of being an estate trustee for my aunt. I coordinated all aspects of the estate, from sorting personal and business papers, selling items not wanted by family, removal of garbage, cleaning of the house and donating items to local charities. I also oversaw the hiring of a realtor and staging the home for sale, as well as working with estate lawyers and accountants. The experience made me realize that many people are faced with the daunting task of downsizing, relocating and sorting—and often without help.
Can I pack anything in the drawers of my dresser or desk?
All loose items must be packed in boxes to prevent loss or damage while moving. It is
recommended that you pack all items and leave the drawers empty.
What should I do with my jewelry and other valuable items?
Items of extraordinary value such as jewelry, money, antiques, and stamp collections
can be included in your shipment, provided that you notify your local moving representative
of these items before packing and moving day. It is strongly recommended that you carry
irreplaceable and expensive articles with you, or make alternate arrangements for their
transport.
In the moving industry, items worth more than $100 per pound are considered to be articles
of "extraordinary value.” To be assured that a claim involving these articles is not limited
to minimal liability, complete and sign your mover's high-value inventory form.
Also, be sure to sign the "Extraordinary Value Article Declaration" box, if applicable, on
your Bill of Lading.
Each mover has a slightly different procedure to follow as it relates to high-value items.
Ask your relocation specialist to provide you with an explanation of their company's process.
This is a confusing (but important) task, so be sure that you clearly understand the rules
prior to load day.
