A few weeks ago we published the first part of a 3-part series titled “Getting Your House in Order for 2022."
Not having your “house in order” can, at a minimum, cause headaches for the people in your life if something happens to you, or in many cases, result in financial costs that could have been avoided.
In the first blog, which you can find here, we talked about organizing key information about contacts, bills, and loans.
TODAY we continue with a checklist of important information to share, including information about your assets and your banking.
