You've
just closed your house purchase--now what? Of course,
there's the packing,
unpacking and decorating. This checklist will help you
stay on track. |

- Determine your moving needs, including:
- Movers or a van (donate items you will not take
with you in the move prior to obtaining an estimate)
- Boxes (include a variety of sizes and divided
containers for glassware)
- Packing paper, tape and markers to identify
boxes
- Consider moving special breakables yourself,
if possible
- Have paper towel, bathroom tissue, plastic cups
and other necessities available for use on moving
day
- Measure doors, hallways and stairways prior
to moving day to be sure they will accommodate
your possessions
- Save your receipts - you may be able to deduct
some moving expenses
- Get the names and addresses, payment
dates, account numbers and amounts you have to pay
for your mortgage, taxes, condo maintenance and utility
charges.
- Create your change of address notification
list, including:
- The post office
- Employers
- Doctor and dentist offices
- Benefit providers
- Magazine subscriptions
- Auto and home insurance
- Change your driver's license and
your registration information with the Department
of Motor Vehicles. Failing to do so could incur a
fine.
- Get to know your neighborhood: the
closest grocery stores, pharmacies, police and fire
stations, hospital. Ask your realtor or loan officer
for recommendations for veterinarians and other professionals.
- Call your local government office
to identify garbage and recycling days.
- Change the locks, or at least the
tumblers, on all doors.
- Consider upgrading the locks to deadbolts for greater
home security.
