Navigate Life Transitions
Financial planning for major changes — marriage, divorce, job loss, inheritance, or starting over.
Major life events — marriage, divorce, job loss, inheritance, moving abroad — all have significant financial implications that require immediate and thoughtful action. Most people handle the emotional aspects and let the financial implications drift.
The risk: a window closes. The window to do a Roth conversion in a low-income year. The window to update beneficiary designations before they default to an ex-spouse. The window to roll over a 401(k) before it auto-distributes as a taxable lump sum. Life transitions demand financial attention.
