Life brings changes — and even though these events can have a significant impact on your lifestyle, they don’t have to derail your finances. Here are some tips to help you retain financial control through some life transitions.

 

  • Analyze your financial picture. Assess your income and expenses. Will you have enough to support yourself, your family, and your lifestyle?

 

  • Review benefits. You may have life, health, and disability insurance policies. Make sure you have the appropriate coverage after a life event.

 

  • Update your beneficiaries and your will. Review your insurance policies, retirement accounts, and other investment accounts.

 

  • Organize your important financial documents. Keep key documents together for easy accessibility and safekeeping.

 

  • Plan for taxes. Understand the tax consequences that might arise after a life event.

 

  • Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Meet with professional advisors. Managing your finances through any major life event can be easier with the help of trusted advisors. These may include a financial advisor, estate planning attorney, and tax accountant.
