Loss of Spouse:

Coping with the loss of a spouse can be emotionally exhausting for you and your family.  Handling financial matters during this difficult time can be overwhelming.  Our advisors are here to help you. 

Some of the items we can assist with include:

  • What is your current income situation?
  • Did you count on any employee benefits from your spouse’s employer?
  • Do you have proceeds coming from life insurance policies or investments your spouse had? 
  • How do you proceed with the claims process for possible proceeds?
  • What retirement savings accounts did your spouse have?
  • If you are providing for dependents, does your current financial situation allow you to provide for them on your own?

 

Working closely with a financial advisor can help you get through these financial concerns during this difficult time and keep you focused on the goals you and your spouse shared.
