Checklist Following Death of Loved One (5-29-21 Reupload)

Someone asked me to talk about a checklist of things that need to be done after a loved one passes away. This topic might hit a little too close to home today. If so, I'm sorry for your loss. Death and funerals and dividing up a deceased person's belongings is often sad and difficult. The grief and stress of handling the funeral and the deceased person's earthly affairs might be a little less intense if today's checklist is helpful. First, I will talk about the most common steps I can remember someone should take to do after his or her loved one dies to prepare for the funeral. Second, I will talk about what the law requires to wrap up a person's legal affairs. Third, I will talk about paying the deceased person's bills. Fourth, I will talk about what a surviving spouse or other beneficiary can do with their inheritance to figure out how his or her budget and financial plan should be adjusted.
