About the Series

The Downsizing Made Simple workshop series is designed to help seniors and their families navigate life’s next chapter with clarity, confidence, and a plan.

Part 3 - Estate Sales, Family Heirlooms & “The Stuff”

One of the most challenging parts of downsizing is deciding what to do with a lifetime of belongings. In this workshop, we’ll discuss practical ways to sort through possessions, handle family heirlooms, and determine what items may have value through estate sales, donations, or other options.

We’ll also explore strategies for working with family members, making thoughtful decisions about sentimental items, and creating a plan that helps simplify the process without feeling overwhelmed.
