Overview

Most Fremont families want a grounded list: what to pull from the desk drawer, which accounts to leave alone for now, and when an appraiser, CPA, or attorney is actually needed. Keep the first days practical so you are not improvising under stress.

What to keep in mind

  • Collect mortgage, insurance, and ownership information in one folder
  • Avoid closing accounts until you know what the estate still needs
  • If you are unsure whether a question is tax or legal, ask the appropriate professional before guessing
