  • Notify others that you are moving by completing a U.S. Post Office change of address form. Also, change your address with your bank, insurance company, credit card accounts, magazine subscriptions, etc.

  • Notify doctors, attorneys, and accountants and have them forward your personal records to new professional team members, if necessary.

  • Confirm with your utilities when the service should be disconnected.

  • Review every room in your home to determine what will make the move with you—and what won’t. Consider having a garage sale or donating items to charity. Then start packing. Refer to our packing tips for help.
