Estate services made easy
ESTATE of Grace is a new local familyowned business that prides itself on providing a caring and holistic approach to estate services throughout Otago and Southland.
They are focused on doing the best for the client, the family and their estate by maximising value and making a difference to the community, with options to support local charities and nonprofit organisations whenever possible.
Andrew Whiley and his wife, Jackie, established the business after seeing the many issues facing the elderly in downsizing, and families dealing with estates. Today, families often don’t live locally; distance can make it difficult to balance the physical tasks required in dealing with an estate. This includes the challenge of transitioning elderly parents to a retirement facility. Estate of Grace simplifies the process!
A recent client engaged the company to look after the estate of his late mother. Household goods were assessed, with valuable items sold and the balance of goods shared across six local charitable organisations. The house was then fully cleaned and staged, including the garden, to ensure that the client was able to maximise the selling price. His quote says it all.
‘‘In view of what the place looked like before they went in, I think they’ve worked a miracle. The place inside and out looks fantastic.’’
Estate of Grace has a team of skilled professional staff and contractors that manage everything to fulfil the needs of the client or estate. They can also assist those that wish to preplan how their estate is handled.
