What to Expect
### Step 1: Identify What Needs Securing I can help locate items if you're not familiar with the property, or you can show me what needs moving. Quick walk-through to work out what we're dealing with. ### Step 2: Gather & Prepare Get everything together, packed safely if needed. I'll be careful and methodical - this isn't a rush job despite being done quickly. ### Step 3: Move to Secure Location Take items to wherever you want them secured - another family member's house, your place, bank vault, wherever. Inventory created if you want it.

Good to Know
> 🤝 **Sensitive situation:** I've helped many families with this. It's handled discreetly and with understanding that this is a difficult time. **Confidentiality** - what's being secured stays between us and whoever you specify. Professional discretion. **Not a valuation service** - I'm not valuing items, just helping you secure them. If you need valuations, that's a job for a proper valuer. **Can't transport extremely high value items** - if we're talking about items worth five figures+, proper secure courier might be more appropriate. I can advise on that. **Work with probate solicitors** - if the solicitor wants items secured or inventoried, I can work to whatever format they need. **Old houses have hiding places** - Exeter's older properties often have unexpected hiding spots. If you want a thorough check before assuming nothing's there, allow extra time.
Frequently Asked Questions about Securing valuables after bereavement in Tiverton
What does securing valuables involve?
I help identify items that need securing (jewellery, documents, small valuables), get them together, and either move them to a safe location you specify, or help arrange temporary secure storage. Whatever makes sense for your situation.
Is this service specifically for bereavement?
Usually, yes. When someone dies, families often need to quickly secure valuables from the property - either because it's sitting empty, before other people have access, or just for peace of mind during probate. It's sensitive work, done discreetly.
Can you provide storage, or just help me move things?
I can help move items to wherever you want them stored (family member's house, your place, bank vault). If you need actual storage arranged, I can point you in the right direction but I don't provide storage facilities myself.
How long does this take?
Usually 30-60 minutes depending on what needs securing and where it's going. If we're moving a heavy safe, allow a bit longer. I'll work as quickly as makes sense given the situation.
Do you inventory what's being secured?
If you want me to, yes. Some families want a quick list of what's been secured and where it's gone - makes probate easier and everyone knows what's where. Others just want it done quickly. Your call.
