How to avoid unnecessary charges when moving

In the course of recent months, we've composed a few times about seniors and lodging issues. We've gotten more inquiries and remarks about more seasoned property holders and the specific battles that they and their families are confronting. 

Here is a remark we as of late got about the expenses of moving. We urge our perusers to continue to compose, and we'll distribute extra inquiries and replies regarding how seniors should contemplate their "last homes," regardless of whether they purchase, lease, live with family or move into gather care, and the most ideal approaches to pass on resources for their beneficiaries.
