I remember having a meeting with Andrew Mitchell when I first started Sunny Care Services and he suggested I add an unclaimed property search to my client service checklist. “Unclaimed Property? What is that?” I thought. “And what are the odds that someone would have land/house/cars/etc in their name and not know about it?”.

There is so much processing and emotions that go with losing a loved one, and I think I, along with many people, fall into the trap of not knowing what to do or how to help someone who is grieving.

Let’s assume you lost a loved one and had never discussed where all their important documents and information are located. Unfortunately, this is the story for far too many families, including mine! So where do you start looking?

In last week’s blog post we talked all about where your friends and family may have stored their important documents-anywhere between logical places like a safe to the more unknown places to check like…the kitchen freezer. It can feel like you are on a treasure hunt, but not a fun kind.

I built Sunny Care Services with the main focus of helping families who are in the transitional season after losing a loved one, however sometimes I get questions asking if we also help people in the transition of going through a divorce or after having a child, and my answer to that is “not yet.” Maybe one day!

Something that we will need to address more and more as we deal with loss is needing to close out social media and other online presences for our lost loved ones. But why should you even care to close out a family member’s social media account? To secure their identity.
