You’ve sold your house and bought a new one. All the things are packed and you are ready to move to the new place. In this hurly-burly and fuss people keep forgetting to make those things that can be the issues of prior importance in future. Here’s the list of most important things to remember:

1. First of all, provide your forwarding address to the post office. It is advised to make it 2-4 weeks ahead of the move.
2. Don’t forget to cancel the newspaper.
3. Make a full list of friends, relatives, and colleagues who should be notified of your move.
4. Arrange to have utilities disconnected at your old home and connected at your new one.
5. Remember to notify the charge cards, magazine subscriptions, and your bank about your moving to another place.
6. Find out the weight of the things you are going to take with you, because moves are usually billed according to weight.
7. Clean out appliances and prepare them for moving, if applicable.
8. Check insurance coverage for moved items. Many movers only cover what they pack usually.
9. Check with your condo or co-op about restrictions on using the elevator or particular exits.
10. Have a "first open" box with the things you’ll need most-toilet paper, soap, trash bags, scissors, hammer, screwdriver, pencils and paper, cups and plates, water, snacks, and toothpaste.

And, if you’re moving to another town

11. Consider special car needs for pets when traveling.
12. Let a friend or relative know your route.
13. Ask friends for introductions to anyone they know in your new neighborhood.
14. Get copies of medical and dental records and prescriptions for your family and your pets.
15. Get copies of children’s school records for transfer.
16. Carry traveler’s checks or an ATM card for ready cash until you can open a bank account.
17. Empty your safety deposit box.
18. Put plants in boxes with holes for air circulation if you’re moving in cold weather.
