One of the least favorite parts of our job involves the planning around a deceased (or soon to be deceased) spouse. Often times, we find one spouse takes the lead on the finances, and the other spouse is left with much more than just grief.

Providing your spouse with everything necessary to help with the finances is one of the best gifts you can give.

In this blog/video, we discuss:

How to get organized
The Documents you'll need to gather
The financial information you'll need to have
The Professionals who can help you through this time and transition

We are certainly in unprecedented and challenging times right now. As many people in our local community (and beyond) are facing changes in employment, financial uncertainty, and most importantly concerns for their health, we are committed to doing our part to help those in need.

We are offering 10 complimentary 30-minute phone consultations throughout the month of April to anyone currently effected by the COVID-19 health and economic crisis. There are no strings attached whatsoever to this offer. It is simply a genuine desire to help those who may be in need, and could benefit from a consultation with a team of established and credentialed Financial Professionals.

Whether you are concerned about how this crisis may effect your retirement plans, how you continue to manage your monthly expenses, understanding what types of benefits you or your small business may be eligible for as a result of recent legislative action from Washington, or so much more - we are here to help guide you through these difficult and challenging times. While we can't promise to have all the answers to your unique situation, we hope we can be a resource for those in our community in a time of need.

If you would like to schedule this 30-minute phone consultation, simply use the link below. We will do our best to accommodate additional consultations, but for now our schedule is limited to 10 of these consultations in the month of April, so it will be first-come-first-served:

In the meantime, we hope everyone stays safe and healthy!
