You’re recently bereaved

Losing a loved one brings many challenges – emotional, practical and, in many cases, financial too. There may be decisions regarding your finances that need to be taken quickly and with a clear head, which, when you are in the fog of grief, can feel like an impossible task. Or you may have longer-term financial worries, about how you’re going to cope on your own, whether you can afford to keep your current lifestyle, and whether things are going to need to change. Facing complex financial paperwork and big life-changing decisions when you are grieving can feel overwhelming, particularly if you weren’t the person who was used to dealing with the money in your relationship. But we are here to help.

If you have been recently bereaved, you may have questions such as:

• How much money do I have?
• Is it going to be enough?
• What do I need to know about how my life and finances are going to change?
• Am I going to be ok?
• Am I making the right decisions with my money?
• What should I do with the investments / assets I inherit?

If you are asking yourself the same kind of questions, we may be able to help you.
