Where I can help
Before
If your spouse handled the money
Being new to this doesn't make you behind. I'll teach you as we go, in plain English, so you understand every account you're taking over and why each decision matters.
During
If you're deciding what to keep
The house, the retirement accounts, and the brokerage account are all worth different things after taxes. We look at what each one really costs to keep before you agree to anything.
After
If it's final and you're starting over
New budget, new beneficiaries, new tax filing status, new estate documents. We build your new normal piece by piece.
How we can work together
A planning project fits when you need answers to one or two specific questions, like whether you can keep the house. Ongoing planning fits when you want someone with you through the whole rebuild.
As early as you can, ideally before you agree to how assets get divided. A planner looks at taxes, cash flow, and retirement accounts so you know what you're actually walking away with.
Many of the biggest changes come afterward: a new budget, new beneficiaries, a new tax filing status, and new estate documents. We work through them one at a time.
That's one of the most common reasons women call me. We go at your pace, and I explain things without assuming you should already know them.
