Scenario
When the person who ran everything has gone
Her husband looked after the family's finances. Now every question comes to her.
- The situation
- A founder dies suddenly, and his wife has never seen the family's accounts. The papers are scattered, and the advisers have always dealt with him.
- What we would do
- We first set out everything the family owns, where each part is held and who advises on it. Financial education then follows her questions, and she takes on each new responsibility when she is ready.
- Where it leaves the family
- She knows what the family owns and who to call, and she makes each decision in her own time.
