Bringing Order to Family Papers and Objects

We open the boxes, record what is there, and hand you a clear written inventory — so the papers your family has gathered over the years become something anyone can find and follow.

REF-WHY · WORKING WITH ESTATICA

What Families Find Useful About This Kind of Support

A Clear Starting Point

Many families arrive at this kind of task without knowing what is even present. An inventory produced on the first visit changes that — the pile becomes a list, and the list becomes something you can act on.

No Rush, No Pressure

The pace is set by what the household needs. Stopping after one visit is a reasonable outcome and we say so plainly. There is no obligation to proceed further than is useful.

Records That Professionals Can Use

Solicitors, estate administrators and valuers work more efficiently when they receive an organised index rather than a pile of folders. Our catalogues are built with that handover in mind.

Objects Described, Not Guessed

We photograph each object on a neutral ground, record its dimensions and condition, and note the provenance in the family's own words. No valuation is made; the description is yours to share with whoever needs it.

Digital Copies on Your Own Storage

Scanned documents and catalogue files are saved to storage the family owns. Nothing is held on external platforms; you control your records throughout and after the programme.

Something Any Family Member Can Open

The orientation document and walkthrough sessions are written and conducted for a reader with no prior knowledge of the household. Other family members can follow the archive without needing to be guided.

REF-FAQ · COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions Families Usually Ask First

Do you make any decisions about what to keep or discard?
No. We record what is present and note what appears to be absent. Decisions about keeping, distributing or discarding items rest entirely with the family and, where relevant, their qualified advisors. Our work produces information, not recommendations.
Is the inventory visit enough on its own?
For some households, yes. Many families find that a clear written list of what exists — and what is missing — is the only step they need before handing matters to a solicitor or administrator. We say plainly on our website that stopping at this point is a sensible outcome.
Can you value the items you catalogue?
No. Valuation for probate, insurance or sale is a regulated activity and sits outside what we do. We describe objects in plain language and photograph them carefully. That description can then be passed to a qualified valuer or auctioneer who can advise on value.
How long does each programme take?
The Shelf Inventory Visit is one on-site session of up to three hours, with a written report delivered within two working days. The Cataloguing Programme runs across seven weeks (seven sessions of two hours each). The Vault Programme spans sixteen weeks with up to eighteen sessions.
Do you travel to other areas of Sarawak?
Our usual area of work is Kuching and the immediate surroundings. For households further afield, please enquire directly — we can discuss what is practical and whether travel is feasible for your situation.
Who keeps copies of the catalogue and scanned files?
You do. All digital files are delivered onto storage the family owns — a drive you provide or one we can recommend. We do not retain copies of family documents after the engagement closes.
What is included in the fee?
Each programme fee covers the on-site sessions, the written documents produced (inventory, catalogue, orientation document as applicable), labelling materials used during the engagement, and the delivery of digital files to your storage. Travel within Kuching is included. Any additional printing or physical materials beyond what is described can be arranged at cost.
