Who We Are

The Dutiful Daughter was founded in 1970 by Jane Wlochowski with a simple mission: to help families navigate life’s transitions with care, integrity, and respect. For more than 40 years, Jane and her family have supported individuals and families who are downsizing, moving into retirement communities, or coping with the loss of a loved one.

What began as a small family business has grown into a trusted, multi-generational company. Jane has since passed the reins to her son, Aaron, who oversees day-to-day operations, and today the third generation, Connor, has joined the business—continuing the family’s tradition of compassionate, professional service.

In the fall of 2014, The Dutiful Daughter expanded operations to Massachusetts. With the full support of the Wlochowski family, Sean McAdam opened and has successfully operated the Massachusetts office, upholding the same core values and client-first philosophy that define our company.

Feedback from our Clients

Bea Van Orden

Farmington, CT

I'd lived in my house for over 40 years before moving to an assisted living community and I contacted The Dutiful Daughter to help me. I would recommend her wholeheartedly. Her sons were wonderful and her husband even fixed the leg on my old china cabinet. She was an angel from heaven. They are a full-service firm.

Bob Gordon

West Hartford, CT

Thank you so much for your efforts on behalf of my parents. Closing their home of over forty years was understandably hard for them. Your competence and caring attitude made them much more comfortable with this difficult process. Donating items to worthy charities also made the process more tolerable to them. I want to thank you specifically for your attention to detail and trustworthiness. Finding and returning my mother’s gold bracelet put a nice finish to a job well done.

Manchester, CT

It was a pleasure working with you. Your quick response and efficient service was greatly appreciated and your honesty is to be commended.

Donna Peterson, Esquire

Manchester, CT

I’ve used her and her sons four or five times now. They are extremely trustworthy. They will go through meticulously to look through documents, bank statements. They call me to say we’ve found this or we’ve found that. And they are extremely efficient. They’re truly nice people and a pleasure to work with.

George and Ann Muirhead

Colchester, CT

We have hired the Dutiful Daughter to clean out our house and move to a retirement community. Six months later they packed and moved us to another community and finally after a year we moved to a third home with our daughter and the Wlochowski’s moved us again. You feel so comfortable. It’s more of a family atmosphere. I didn’t worry when they packed things up. We trusted them to do the job.
