Estates & Family Members Transitioning into Care

Sensitive, Practical support for Families Preparing a Property for Sale

When a loved one passes away or transitions into aged care, there is often a home to prepare for sale, at a time when emotions are running high and decisions can feel overwhelming.

At The Property Establishment, we specialise in providing compassionate, independent guidance to families managing deceased estates or helping relatives move into care. Our role is to ease the burden and ensure the property is sold with the right strategy, by the right agent for the best result.
