Legacy Planning Review
★★★★★“Shara with Sift and Sort Professional Organizer is amazing and I highly recommend her!!! A friend recommended Shara to me during one of the most stressful times my family has ever experienced. My grandma had to be moved into an assisted living facility while I was trying to find the right place for her and spending my days going back and forth to the hospital. It was overwhelming. What amazed me most was how Shara thought through every little detail. She found the perfect place for everything, maximizing the space so my grandma could keep the things that meant the most to her without the room feeling crowded. The end result was absolutely beautiful. My grandma’s new home feels warm, comfortable, and familiar because she was able to bring so much of her life with her. I was so impressed that I immediately hired Shara again to help my mom declutter her home so we can prepare it to sell. Once again, I was blown away by her organization, patience, kindness, and ability to make what felt like an impossible task completely manageable. Shara didn’t just organize our belongings—she brought peace of mind during an incredibly difficult chapter in our lives. She made things so much easier for my grandma, my mom, and me, and I will always be grateful for that. Her number is permanently saved in my phone because I know I’ll be calling her for future projects. If you’re looking for someone who is compassionate, organized, efficient, and truly gifted at what she does, call Shara. You won’t regret it!!!”

Legacy Planning FAQs
What does Legacy Planning include?
Legacy Planning can include sorting personal belongings, identifying meaningful keepsakes, coordinating donations, preparing a home for sale, and organizing a smaller or assisted-living residence so it feels comfortable and familiar. The plan is tailored to your family’s needs.
How do you handle emotional or sentimental belongings?
Every item is treated with patience, dignity and respect. Shara helps families work through decisions without pressure, while the client and family remain in control of what is kept, shared, donated or released.
When should we begin planning a downsizing or senior transition?
Starting early allows more time for thoughtful decisions and reduces last-minute stress. However, Sift & Sort can also help when a move or home sale is approaching quickly by identifying priorities and creating a manageable step-by-step plan.
