When major life events happen—such as a death, divorce, bankruptcy, downsizing, or a senior moving into a care home—it can be overwhelming to know where to begin. What needs to be done first? What are your options for handling personal belongings? How do you get items appraised? Should you consider a private sale, donation, or auction?
This course will guide you through the practical steps and decisions involved in managing estates, transitions, and major life changes. We’ll answer these questions and many more, helping you feel informed, prepared, and confident during challenging times.
