Losing a loved one is never easy, but there are active steps anyone can make to ensure that you are better prepared financially when circumstances arise.
- Review estate plan. The most important document is a last will and testament, but there should also be a durable power of attorney, beneficiaries, and trusts as well.
- Gather important documents, such as financial account information, property deeds, vehicle titles, and insurance policies in a safe place.
- Know who to contact. Put the contact information in a safe place for an attorney, insurance broker, financial advisor, and accountant.
- Celebrate time together. Talk with your loved ones about their life and memories, as a well as their wishes.
