Weed out Unwanted/Unnecessary Items Before You
Move
Organize a garage sale or donate them to a charity. Remember to keep your
receipts for tax purposes.
Get a Jump on Packing
If possible, begin packing fragile or heirloom items a few days before the move.
It will make it easier for you when your moving day arrives.
File Change-of-Address Notifications With Your
Post Office
Make sure you inform government offices, insurance agencies, business accounts
and other institutions of your move.
Keep Track of Moving Expenses
Many costs may be tax-deductible.
Cancel Services Before You Move
These include gas, water, telephone, electric, cable, waste-removal, newspaper
and postal delivery services.
Contact Utility Companies in Your New City
Inform them of your move date so that utilities in your new home are operational
when you arrive.
