in the months aheadThe Decisions in Front of You
In the wake of a loss, a few things genuinely have deadlines — most everything else can wait until you're ready:
● Step-up in cost basis considerations for jointly held assets
● Social Security survivor benefit election timing
● Spousal rollover vs. inherited IRA considerations
● Estate settlement follows a sequence — probate (if applicable), date-of-death valuations, and a final joint tax return
● Tax filing status changes over time and their impact
These are general considerations — specific ages, thresholds, and deadlines change over time and can vary by situation. We'll walk through exactly what applies to you.
