Estate Clear-Out Checklist for Alberta Executors
A step-by-step order of operations for clearing an estate property in Alberta.
Serving Edmonton, Sherwood Park & Area
A steady hand through your family’s next chapter.
Estate transition management for families in Edmonton, Sherwood Park and surrounding communities, including estate clear-outs, senior downsizing, move coordination and executor support.
Managing a family home from another city? We’re your local hands on the ground.
What We Actually Do
Project management — not junk removal.
A junk-removal company removes contents. A moving company moves them. Alberta Estate Transitions manages the entire household transition — what needs to be kept, distributed, professionally assessed, moved, donated or disposed of, who needs to be involved, and what needs to happen next.
- One project manager — not a list of companies to chase
- A written plan and schedule agreed before work begins
- Professional coordination with qualified independent service providers as required
- Significant items documented, with decisions recorded
- Nothing of consequence leaves the home without a decision
What We Do
Estate Transition Management in Edmonton
One steady coordinator for the many decisions an Edmonton-area family faces when a home, a parent or an estate begins its next chapter.
Executor & Out-of-Town Family Support
Local hands and a local plan when you are managing a property from another city — assessment, contents planning, documentation, provider coordination and final handover.
Learn moreEstate Clear-Outs
A full household worked through room by room — family priorities identified, contents sorted and distributed, donations, recycling and disposal arranged, and the property prepared for handover or sale.
Learn moreSenior Downsizing
Deciding what moves and what does not, then organizing the sorting, packing, family distribution, donation and disposal so the person moving keeps the decisions and not the workload.
Learn moreMove Coordination
Planning, scheduling and supervising the move between homes, with independent moving companies coordinated around one plan and one point of contact.

What Clients Say
“My husband’s mother was from Scotland and ran a small antique business in Nova Scotia. After she passed, many of her belongings came with us to Alberta and were eventually stored in our basement for about 10 years. The clutter became overwhelming, and as we are now in our seventies, I worried about having to deal with everything on my own one day. Jem worked with my husband to sort through the items and decide what to keep, donate, and sell. It was a huge weight off my shoulders, and I highly recommend her services.”
“Jem is great to work with. I used her services to help declutter and organize my kitchen. She is able to be direct and kind at the same time and has so many practical suggestions. I would work with her again in a heartbeat.”
“When we moved our mom out of our family home of 50 years, Jem was an incredible support to our entire family. She helped us organize and sort through decades of belongings, but her role went far beyond organizing. She managed the logistics, coordinated the movers and junk removal, kept the process moving, and became the steady point of contact we needed.”
