Have you ever wondered what would happen to your spouse if you passed away? Would they be able to find all of the important estate and financial documents required shortly after death? How would they handle organizing your funeral arrangements? How competent would they be handling all of the ongoing financial matters such as investments, insurance and budgeting? In many instances, these questions are hard to answer. But they should not be left to chance, and that is why this book is so important. In an easy-to-understand fashion, David Herbeck lays out the important planning steps needed to ease the burden upon the death of a spouse. You will learn what tasks should be done in the first nine months after a death and how a surviving spouse can make decisions that will help them face new challenges in the future. David Herbeck has worked with dozens of widows. While he taught them about money and financial decision-making, they taught him a great deal about life.
