You don’t have to go into personal details — just keep it simple:“I’ve been appointed by the county probate court as conservator for [Mother’s Name].

I’ve actually had clients come to me after trying to report their 1031 exchange using TurboTax, and I’ve noticed they often miss key details or enter things incorrectly.

Personally my tech stack looks like this:Docusign - signing leases (technically rentredi can do this I think, I'm just too lazy to change)Rentredi - applications for properties, tenant payment platform, maintenance request trackingBaselane - Banking (you may not need this yet with only one property but SO great to have multiple accounts for multiple props)Notion - SOP docs, how to's, general instructions in databases and pagesTango - use to record step by step instructions of specific tasks and link in Notion pages where necessaryI also self manage, and most of my communication is with tenants, handyman, and occasionally banks, so I don't have a great rec for how to most effectively communicate with a PM, however if you have a project database set up in Notion it should be easy to create the steps you want and track how you like

This was a distressed property, so I also gave a VERY detailed listing of everything that went into the rehab.

There has been some difficulties with finishing the first two units of the duplex, and I believe my project was handed off to another contractor as I am being instructed to contact the new contractor for specific task when originally I was working with the main contractor that walked the property with me.

Be sure to send them move-out instructions about 40 days prior, confirm the lease has ended and ask for the forwarding address.
