Estate Management
The Maine Senior Guide Estate Management category includes professional service providers, like elder law attorneys, financial planners, long term care insurance advisors, senior real estate experts and bankers versed in reverse mortgages and bridge loans.
You’ll also find funeral homes, appraisers and estate sale planners, downsizers, and moving and storage services.
When considering these services, don’t forget to ask questions. Ask for:
- Professional licenses and affiliations
- References
- Examples of current work
Check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Remember that the Better Business Bureau is a membership organization, and companies pay money to join, although complaints can be filed against any company doing business in the state.
