When You Inherit an Estate

Hello, my name is Jacob Langston. My father passed away two years ago, and I inherited his entire estate. Dad was a great guy, but he sure did have a lot of stuff. He lived in a large home, and I honestly don’t think he changed a thing since my mother died twelve years before him. I couldn't afford to keep the house, so selling it was one of the first things I had to take care of. I was at a loss for what to do with all the belongings inside. I had to start moving things out in order to get the house ready to sell. Once it sold, I had to move the rest out. I hired a moving and storage company to help with this daunting task, and am I glad I did. Stay tuned as I share this adventure with you!

When You Inherit an Estate

Explore The Benefits Of Hiring A Long Distance Moving Company To Handle Your Move

by Stacy Robertson

Whether you are simply planning to move to a new city or are planning to move to the other side of the country, the fact is that hiring a moving company to handle your long-distance move can prove very beneficial. Below, you can learn more about some of the benefits you will enjoy by choosing to hire a long-distance moving company. 

Benefit #1: Minimize The Risk Of Items Being Damaged

The further your belongings need to travel, the greater the risk is that one of these items will be damaged in transit. You can help to minimize this risk by ensuring that your items are packed in the most effective and secure way possible. Hiring a professional moving company to handle your move is a very effective way of accomplishing this goal. Furthermore, if any of your belongings are damaged, the insurance coverage offered by these companies will ensure you are protected from any financial loss. 

Benefit #2: Enjoy More Travel Options For Yourself And Your Family

Without the help of professional movers, your only real travel option for getting to your new home will be to drive your own moving truck. Depending on how far away you are moving, this could mean spending several days on the road. In addition to the stress that driving long distances can cause, you will also need to deal with the costs of staying in a hotel each night and buying meals while on the road. By allowing a long-distance moving company to handle the driving for you, you will be able to open up multiple other travel options such as flying or catching a train. Choosing to utilize these options can often allow you to get to your destination faster and cut down on the stress and cost of long-distance travel. 

Benefit #3: Better Coordinate The Arrival Of Your Belongings

Commonly people will need to arrive in their new town or city at least a few days ahead of all their belongings. This is because much of the paperwork needed to finalize the purchase or rental of a new home can only be completed in person. Consequently, your home may not quite be ready for you to move into the same day you arrive in town. This means that you may need to stay in a hotel for a couple of days before you can begin moving in. If you choose to drive your moving truck to your new home, this could mean the need to place your items in a storage unit so you can access your new home. However, if you choose to hire a long-distance moving company to do the driving for you, you will be able to better coordinate the arrival of your belongings with your ability to move these items into your new home.
