DEATH OF A FAMILY MEMBER CHECKLIST
Thanks to Gibraltar Private Bank and Trust and Scott Poulin, SVP, Wealth Management Specialist for providing the following valuable information and checklist:

At some point you will talk to or know someone who’s had a life changing event in the passing of a love one.  In the past quarter alone, I have worked with a client who lost her 65 year old husband; a client who lost his dad at the age of 15; and a widow who recently lost her husband who was only 42. 

Click here for a checklist that we believe will help in preparation for this inevitable life changing event.  No one wants to address these issues as it is an uncomfortable topic, but a little preparation can help make the transition so much easier and allow for the family to focus on the grieving and healing process – not the financial aspect.  Just a reminder, at a minimum, we should encourage our clients to have a will, a durable power of attorney and a health care directive. 

Helping prepare for life changing events and identifying its challenges is just one of the many things you can do for your clients as part of the Wealth and Well-Being Experience and we are here to help you.
