Don’t Make These Mistakes When Your Spouse Passes Away
From the U.S. News & World Report website
The stress can be enormous when a spouse passes away. It’s generally a bad time to make financial decisions. You will want to avoid making major changes during that time, if you can. Let your emotions settle down a bit before making moves that could drastically affect your taxes and finances.
“Any decision they make, they should make sure they speak to a professional, a financial planner or a certified public accountant,” says Joe Edmondson, a financial professional with AXA Advisors in New York. Edmondson says people sometimes come to him for advice only after they realize they made a mistake that will cost them unnecessary taxes and possibly IRS penalties.
