Personal & Estate Document Management



Estate Inventory & Distribution
When handling an estate it is essential to locate and secure sentimental and valuable items on the property. Sometimes we’re given a list of bequeathed property and other times our clients don’t know what will be found in a decedent’s home. So, how does it work? If we’re given a list we will find everything, document where each item was located by photographing and creating a full inventory, and then we secure those items by either putting them in a storage unit, safety deposit box, or leaving them secured in the home if that is the client’s wish. If a client doesn’t have a list of bequeathed property, we will create a full inventory of the home for all items so you can decide what is valuable or sentimental. We also take care of distribution, so in addition to packing and preparing your items to ship to you or other family members, we will coordinate any remaining items to be donated or disposed of as needed, including the proper disposal of hazardous waste. We are insured & practice thorough documentation, so you can rest assured that any valuables located on the property will be properly secured.

Joining or Dividing Households
There’s so much to consider when dividing or combining a household. Let’s start with joining households: It’s not always easy to know what to keep, what there are duplicates of, and how to sort everything when two or more people move in together. At A Clean Slate, we help you sort, prioritize, and label property so that there is no confusion on what to keep, store, sell, or give away.
“Vow To Organize” is one of our services that can be gifted to newlyweds to help them start their life together stress-free and organized. You can register for this as a wedding gift for yourself or purchase a gift card for a happy couple as a gift. It starts with the couple completing an assessment listing what items they have and making decisions about what happens with duplicate items. A Clean Slate will pack, deliver, and put everything away for you so you can return from your honeymoon and immediately settle into life together rather than have the stress of unpacking and organization hanging over your head when you return.
FAQ
To help you through our process we have included some commonly asked questions below. We also know that every situation is unique so feel free to reach out for a free, no-obligation consultation to see how we can best assist you!
Where do we even begin?
It all begins with an assessment phone call to determine your specific needs and decide if we are a good partnership. A Clean Slate can jump in at any stage of the transition or estate project.
Can you give us an estimate for the project?
A Clean Slate offers concierge-style services that are billed at an hourly rate rather than a package deal.
This ensures that our energy and attention are focused on what you actually need, exactly how you want it. Give us a call to discuss your project so we can give you a quote.
How long does it take to clear an estate?
That depends on a number of factors. The most critical is access to the actual property to be managed, organized, and/or cleared. Once legal possession of a property has been determined, the project can be completed in as little as one week.
Complex situations which include multiple beneficiaries, interstate distribution, or home sale preparation can take longer.
Do you help with out of state services?
A Clean Slate has provided services locally in Northern Arizona, throughout the state of Arizona, as well as relocation to California, Tennessee, Virginia, Michigan, and Florida.
How do we find movers, haulers, cleaners, and trade professionals?

How do we set up a safety deposit box or storage unit? Can I use one I already have?
A Clean Slate can help you by renting a safety deposit box or storage unit on your behalf if you don’t have one. If you already have one or desire us to rent one for you in a particular location A Clean Slate will use the one you have or rent one at your direction.
