Our Approach
Turning Point Estate Services offers an innovative approach to assist families in the management and disposition of personal property and real estate in transition. We understand that it is not just the property and paperwork requirements that can get complicated. Those managing the disposition of an estate are often acting as representatives of other family members and may be doing so from a distance. We’ve developed a proprietary on-line system that allows our clients remote access to regular progress and activity reports, photos of work in progress and, if needed, the ability to sort through a digital personal property inventory.
Through professionalism, respect for privacy, and confidentiality, we aim to be an indispensable ally through the entire process.
Our methodology ensures all parties involved agree upon objectives and outcomes from the beginning.

Turning Point’s Senior Management will schedule a meeting at the property to assess your needs. We will:
