How it Works
The process that is generally followed for each of the service areas as provided below will give an example of how we might work together. Your project will be customized based on the specific situation and combine multiple service areas.
Getting started
The first step is to have an initial consultation to see if the services offered are in alignment with what you're looking for and to get an idea of your requirements and concerns. This allows In Good Order to tailor a plan and a quote that is customized for your needs.
If we decide to move forward together, we will execute an agreement for services to protect us both, along with providing you with a copy of In Good Order's insurance and bond information.
For all projects we start with an intake session to collect important details about you, your trusted contacts, and any related documents.
Record Organization
Record organization starts with asking you a series of questions about the types of records, assets and personal information you have to make sure we've covered everything that might apply.
From there, we will collect multiple months and possibly years of documents from you so that they can be organized into a binder for easy access.
There are options for creating separate binders or envelopes of documents for trusted contacts, and if desired, documents can be scanned to a secure online portal for easy access for long distance trusted contacts.

Transition Support
The first step in supporting a transition is understanding where you're going and on what time frame.
From there we'll talk about the space you're moving into, it's size and location, and then we'll create a plan of what will be moving with you into your new space.
Items that will not be moving with you into your new space can be given away, sold, donated or disposed of based on your wishes and the work we do together.
If needed, we can help with packing, finding moving resources, and other related tasks.

End of Life Planning
During this process the focus is on putting things in order ahead of time to remove uncertainty or burden for those left behind.
This process can look like many things, but will often be about securing final arrangements, writing an obituary, creating final messages, and helping to manage other tasks related to this transition, removing the stress of making decisions and plans during a difficult time.
Each project will start with one or more conversations with the client and trusted contacts to make sure that everyone is on the same page and that there is clarity about final wishes.
Final arrangements will be documented, set, and whenever possible, pre-paid.

Ongoing Support
While all clients will receive yearly check-in, there are some clients who will need ongoing support, for example to keep documents updated and organized.
For those clients who want to keep In Good Order on call, we can discuss a monthly retainer rate which is aligned with the type of support you're in need of.
