After a lifetime of working to have nice things, it can be distressing to be asked to declutter and move. Getting a professional to help can make the process less of an ordeal
My parents are 84 and in fairly good health, although my dad has a few issues. I am in my late 50s and was widowed young with a toddler. My parents came to live with me for a couple of years, giving up their house and jobs to help, so when we went our separate ways I bought them a house and put it in my name to prevent inheritance issues.
I am trying to help them downsize from a three-bedroom family home to a more manageable ground-floor flat. I have finally found a property that is acceptable to both of them (not an easy task) and have a buyer for the house.
