Whether a death is expected or happens accidentally, losing a loved one is never easy. There are so many things to think about and arrangements to make. After the funeral, you may wonder what to do with the person’s assets. Even if there is a will, it likely did not account for every single item. So where do you put the remaining items? You can keep all of the previous possessions of a loved one in storage units until you decide what to do with them. Here are three things to consider putting in storage in Hawthorne after a loved one’s death. Cars When people think of storage units, cars usually don’t come to mind. However, many storage facilities offer indoor and outdoor storage for cars. This is a good option for those whose loved ones left behind vehicles that they want to keep in the family but have no room for at their own homes. For example, some people live in cities where parking is limited and there are no driveways or garages. However, they may want to hold onto a car until a teenage family member gets their driver’s license. Storage units provide a safe and affordable place to keep cars. Furniture You can also keep different items of furniture in storage until you’re ready to use it. There are no minimum rent requirements for storage units, so you can use them for two months, two years or even two decades without any penalties. Just be sure to store your furniture properly, or it may be in less than ideal condition by the time you get it out of storage. Heirlooms You want to hold onto your family’s beloved Christmas decorations, kitchen set, knickknacks, jewelry boxes and other heirlooms passed down from past generations. If you don't have the room for boxes and boxes of belongings, you can avoid tossing these valuable and sentimental items by keeping them in storage. These items will help you remember your loved one and keep your family heritage alive, so consider storage units. After a few months, when you’re less emotional, you can think of a more permanent home for these heirlooms. Considering Storage Units in Hawthorne?
