| Overlooked Tasks: Change your address -- One week before your move, send change-of-address cards to everyone who will need to contact you at your new address. Some organizations have toll-free 800 numbers, so you can make changes over the phone. Cancel membership fees -- Some clubs and organizations may offer partial refunds or allow you to sell unused portions of your membership. Ask about their policies. Measure for moving access -- Measure doorways, hallways, elevators and stairwells in your new home to make sure you have enough clearance. Notify services and utilities -- Tell your current suppliers - including trash collection, newspaper delivery, and telephone, water and power companies - when to discontinue services. If you have "last month" deposits with services, such as the telephone company, request your refund. Transfer prescriptions -- Ask your doctor for assistance. |
