How To Prepare For Your Move
About four weeks before moving day is a good time to keep track of moving expenses for tax purposes. This is also when you should begin transferring services and records. It is often a good idea to have the services begin several days before you expect to arrive at your home for the convenience of having the utilities and telephone working upon arrival.
