Loss of Your SpouseBe Prepared To Carry On"After my husband's death I was emotionally numb, and I had to lean on my adult children through those first few months. But my financial situation wasn't disrupted. Once I started to recover, I was able to pick up where I had left off because my husband and I had discussed our finances together. I knew I was the beneficiary of his retirement plans. I could tell my children where to find the will and the insurance policy. And I met with a financial adviser who helped me decide how to invest the insurance settlement." –One woman's story (compliments of Calvert Investments) When I first read this story, my own husband was well. His premature death occurred later, following a brief illness. Simply coping with that degree of shock is enough. No one wants to deal with financial decisions or details. Entrust can help you prepare, so that if you experience this lifecycle transition you will not have to worry about your money. If you and your husband did not get around to preparing ahead of time, Entrust can help you reclaim your financial security. We understand how it feels. We understand the steps on the pathway to financial security. |
