ADVICE

Use Estate Planning to Prevent Abandonment

  • Get a will and preferably a trust to avoid property abandonment.
  • Clear ownership prevents homes from becoming abandoned due to inheritance disputes.
INSIGHT

Renovation Adds to Waste Stream

  • Renovation also creates material waste, not just demolition or abandonment.
  • Deciding restoration versus deconstruction depends on resources and salvage market availability.
ADVICE

Buy Safely from Salvage Sources

  • Look for architectural salvage yards or Habitat for Humanity Restores to buy reclaimed materials.
  • Always ask about material sources to avoid toxic or lead-contaminated wood.
