Life After Loss

When you’re facing the difficult situation of losing a loved one and handling money, we’re here to help. We can help you assess the situation, create a plan, and assist you through all the next steps. Nobody should have to handle loss and money on their own.

We have answers to several common questions, such as:

  • What does each company need in order to transfer the accounts?

  • How will my taxes be affected by this transfer or inheritance?

  • Are the investments right for me or should I change them?

  • What are my responsibilities as a successor trustee?

  • How do I make a beneficiary claim?

  • How do I set up my own beneficiaries?

  • What’s the difference between inheriting cash vs retirement accounts?

  • How does this transfer affect my personal finances? What changes can I afford?

  • How do I make sure I spend this money wisely?


We can help you answer all these questions and more.
