RightSize guide

Planning an out of state move

Whether you live in another state or cannot be there for every appointment, you can help without making every choice yourself. Start with a shared written list of what is decided, what still needs a decision, and which appointments require someone local.

Agree with your parent who may receive updates and what they may decide. Get dates, room measurements and vendor estimates in writing. Keep sentimental choices separate from urgent logistics. For local appointments your family approves, RightSize's On-the-Ground Support can attend, keep a decision log, send photos and provide a weekly update. You set the hours and approve each outside cost. RightSize does not pack, haul, hire providers without approval or handle family money; specialist services and travel, if any, are separate.

If the family is still choosing a destination, start with the planning session before arranging local visits. If a date is fixed, identify the decisions that could delay the mover estimate or handoff.
