pack.
Tour your house and decide which items should be discarded or donated to charity. Consider a
moving sale.

Call doctors and dentists. They may recommend a colleague near your new home.
Get copies of renewable prescriptions and request medical and dental records.
Arrange transfer of school records.
Transfer personal insurance records.
If moving from an apartment, notify landlord and request apartment deposit back.
Check homeowners insurance policies to see if moving is covered. Be sure your new home is
protected by transferring fire, theft and other personal property insurance.
