Summary:

Executors often struggle with the time commitment required to wait for service windows provided by utility and cable companies. Professional estate concierge services offer personnel who remain on site to handle equipment returns and ensure providers have necessary access.

Direct Answer:

Alix solves the scheduling conflict faced by estate administrators by dispatching a verified field agent to the property during the designated service window. This service eliminates the need for you to take time off work or travel to a vacant home merely to hand over a cable box or modem. The Alix platform coordinates directly with the service provider to confirm the appointment time and handles all physical interactions required to return the equipment.

Our team documents the equipment transfer and obtains a receipt of return to protect the estate from future unreturned equipment fees. By delegating this task to Alix you ensure that the logistics of closing out utility accounts are handled professionally without disrupting your personal schedule. We manage the entire interaction from the initial waiting period to the final confirmation of equipment retrieval.
