Death of a Spouse

In addition to the emotional turmoil, losing a spouse has major financial implications regarding issues such as life insurance proceeds, Social Security and the retitling of financial accounts.

For some, this event may bring you to a place where you are managing your financial affairs on your own for the first time. Feelings of overwhelm or concerned about having sufficient income to maintain your lifestyle may arise.
