What is an Estate Settlement?

An estate settlement is the closing of financial affairs for a deceased person. It involves contact with government agencies and financial companies. It involves the transfer and disposal of property, keepsakes and valuables. A Daily Money Manager can provide guidance on these matters as well as handle the tasks.

Among the tasks are terminating social security and filing a final income tax return. Companies need to be contacted to close accounts, cancel billings and make final payments. The residence and items of value need to be secured. The home, vehicle and personal property will need to be transferred or sold. Inspection, repairs and remodeling may be required before a property is put on the market for sale.

A Daily Money Manager can be of great assistance to descendants and trustees at a time of grief and tasks to be handled.

 

 

Finances are the major cause of divorce.

Feeling that one’s spouse spent money foolishly increased the likelihood of divorce 45 percent for both men and women.

Couples that argue about finances at least once a week are 30 percent more likely to get divorced.

Couples with no assets at the beginning of a three-year period are 70 percent more likely to divorce by the end of that period than couples with $10,000 in assets.

What is the difference between a CPA, Financial Coach, Daily Money Manager and a Financial Advisor?

A CPA typically looks at what has happened over the past year and ensures that transactions are properly reported for financial statement and tax purposes. Financial Advisors look to the future to ensure you are properly invested for retirement and other life goals.

A Financial Coach and a Daily Money Manager help you with the here and now. A Financial Coach teaches you how to manage your finances. A Daily Money Manager does the financial management for you.

There can be overlap in the functions of these professionals. One or more of these professionals may be beneficial to your needs.

 

 

What is a Daily Money Manager

A Daily Money Manager is a financial professional who provides personal financial services to individuals and families, and who manages money matters such as budgets, debt reduction, bills and record keeping.

As a member of the American Association of Daily Money Managers (AADMM), I am background check certified, bonded and insured. I am bound by the guidelines of the American Association of Daily Money Managers’ Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice.

 

 

How I work with Licensed Fiduciaries and Professional Referrals

I work with clients not requiring a Licensed Fiduciary or in support of their Fiduciary. I work under a Special Power of Attorney as applicable. Services are budget management, debt reduction, bill payment and record keeping. I do projects to organize a client’s financial matters for the needs of care managers, fiduciaries, trust administrators, accountants, attorneys and financial advisors.

Examples of my clients

I work with an early dementia individual who no longer can keep track of bills, bank accounts and financial issues. I work with first time home owners to help manage their current expenses and saving goals.

Other examples are vision impaired, seniors wanting to avoid scams, loss of a spouse who handled financial matters, and busy professionals and business owners.

 

 

Client protection during Covid

I am very committed to ensuring client and my own health and safety during the pandemic.

In-person meetings adhere to CDC guidelines. Meetings are held in the home or in a comfortable area outside (weather and temperatures permitting), keeping 3-6 feet apart and wearing a face mask. Disinfecting wipes and hand sanitization is used when reviewing and exchanging documents. Pre-addressed envelops are provided for mailing of documents.
