The most forgotten items are the following:
Records: Don’t forget to transfer your medical records and current prescriptions to your new town. Also, you will need school records to register your children as photocopies will not suffice.
Hidden Stash: Have you stashed away valuables or extra cash? Be sure to check every nook and cranny so that you don’t forget that money you had hidden for a rainy day or your family heirloom!
External Possessions: Don’t forget to pick up the items left at the dry cleaners or tailors. Also remember to return library books, movie rentals, and anything else you may have checked out or lent out.
New Address: Keep a copy in your wallet, because you will be asked this information repeatedly during your move and you may not have it memorized.
Mr. Clean: Leave some cleaning supplies out to do a once-over before permanently closing the door.
Garage Door Opener: Most people forget to remove this from their vehicles prior to moving. Remember to leave it for the new resident.
Keys: Make sure you leave the new resident all the copies of the house key. Don’t forget to pick them up from the neighbors, family members, or whomever you have given a spare key to. That includes the hidden key on the front porch!
Animals and Plants: Bernard Movers cannot move animals or plants, so please make arrangement for them!
Bank Accounts: It is always a good idea to open a checking account in your new town a month prior to arrival; this ensures you have immediate access to your funds. On occasion, retailers decline to cash “out of town” checks.
