The Funeral
A funeral or memorial ceremony is an opportunity for you and your family and the community of those who knew your loved one to grieve, and to honor and celebrate their life.
Informing Others
Sharing the sad news when you carry such a heavy heart can be hard, but it’s important to let others into your circle of grief and allow them to support you at this very difficult time.
The Will
Whether or not your loved one left a will, you will need to make sure their property is passed on to the right people. With a will, inheritance will follow your loved one’s wishes; without it, state law will decide. Either way, following these rules will ensure that your loved one’s life and legacy are properly honored.
Immediate Arrangements
Soon after a loved one’s passing, there are some time-sensitive tasks that will need to be taken care of. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Managing Accounts
Chances are that your loved one, like most of us, had dozens of accounts, subscriptions, and memberships. We’ll help you form a plan for tackling this time-consuming task.
Probate
Probate is often a long and complex process, but it is also completely manageable if you stay organized and follow the instructions of the court. It’s definitely still a good idea to avoid the full probate process, if you can. We’ll walk you through whichever scenario applies to your loved one’s estate.
