Full-Estate Relocations Handled with Discretion & Care
Estate Moving Specialists in Los Angeles
Relocating an entire estate is far more than a large move — it is a logistical undertaking involving fine art, antiques, generations of family heirlooms, and often a tight, confidential timeline. For over 50 years, Stratton and Sons has been the moving company that LA families, estate managers, and trustees call when everything has to be handled perfectly and privately.
What an Estate Move Involves
A full-estate relocation is a coordinated project, not a single truckload. We begin with a detailed on-site survey to inventory furnishings, art, antiques, and high-value pieces, then build a room-by-room plan with the right crew size, equipment, and materials. Our movers pad and stretch-wrap every furnishing, build custom crates for fragile and irreplaceable items, and protect floors, stairwells, and doorways at both properties. Whether the estate is being relocated, consolidated, or settled, we move at the pace the family and their representatives need.
Fine Art, Antiques & Heirlooms
Estates often hold the most valuable and sentimental items we handle — original artwork, period antiques, chandeliers, pianos, wine collections, and one-of-a-kind heirlooms. Our specialty crews crate and transport these on air-ride equipped vans, with temperature-controlled transport available for sensitive pieces. Detailed inventories and condition notes can be provided so executors, family members, and insurers all have a clear record of what moved and how it arrived.
Discretion, Storage & Coordination
Estate moves frequently involve attorneys, estate managers, designers, and family members in multiple locations. We coordinate quietly and professionally with all parties, and our secure Chatsworth warehouse offers short- or long-term storage when a home is being sold, settled, or renovated before items reach their final destination. Please note that any required building permits, HOA reservations, and elevator scheduling remain the client’s responsibility — we will gladly work within whatever access windows are arranged.
