Mastering Wealth Management During Major Financial Changes

Experiencing a significant wealth event, whether planned or unexpected, can bring substantial changes to your financial life. These events might include the sale of valuable assets, an inheritance, a legal settlement, or a windfall from success in your career. With the most significant transfer of intergenerational wealth currently happening, particularly among women, understanding how to manage newfound wealth is more critical than ever.

The key to successfully navigating a significant wealth event is preparation. Before the event occurs, it’s essential to assemble a financial team, consider tax implications, and establish a budget. During the event, avoiding impulsive decisions and finalizing a long-term wealth management plan are vital steps to help protect your assets. After the event, implementing and reviewing your plan with the help of a financial advisor ensures that your wealth continues to work for you, safeguarding against risks such as fraud and maintaining your financial legacy. By taking the right steps at each stage—before, during, and after a wealth event—you can preserve your wealth, maintain your lifestyle, and help secure your financial future.
