Closing and moving: Your closing day will not be certain until a few days
or so beforehand. Many variables affect the scheduling of this day,
including, but not limited to, your availability, the other party's availability,
and, where a mortgage is involved, the bank's approval. Contact your
attorney's office a week or so before the anticipated closing date to discuss
scheduling.
On moving day, be sure to keep the following items handy so that you do not
have to search for them when you get to your new place: toiletries, sheets
for your bed, night clothes and clothes for the next day, towels, soap.
