It’s a confusing time; there’s a lot of emotion. Unfortunately, few people have developed a roadmap. Now, you can have one.
Jim Lorenzen, CFP®, AIF®
When a loved one dies, it can be a bit chaotic. I remember when my parents passed away, they had lived a very long and happy life. When the time came, it wasn’t unexpected and we had plenty of time to prepare, both emotionally and financially. This end-of-life timing scenario was predictable.
Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case. Sometimes it can happen unpredictably. When that happens, often there’s no plan in place – not even a roadmap. It can wait. We’ll do it later.
Not a good idea.

These should provide you with the roadmap you need – you may want to print these out or save them to your hard drive – and don’t forget to get help.
Nothing beats experienced guidance.
