Your surviving spouse money map, step by step

Start with the few answers that matter first, then leave with a concrete next-step plan.
  1. Map monthly money

    Write the income sources, deposits, regular bills, and payment methods in one calm view.

  2. Name the helpers

    List the advisor, tax preparer, attorney, insurance contacts, and trusted family point person.

  3. Locate the accounts

    Record where account information lives without putting private numbers in the workbook.

  4. Create the first-week plan

    Separate what needs attention quickly from what can wait for professional help.

A plain-English workbook that helps a spouse know what money comes in, what gets paid, who to call, and what not to panic about first.

The Surviving Spouse Money Map is built for a moment people often avoid because it feels too emotional, too messy, too medical, too financial, or too much work.

Instead of asking buyers to solve everything, it gives them a first pass they can complete, share, and build from.

Buyer Fit

Who this is for

This is for people who need relief, clarity, connection, or a first pass now - not someday.

Couples with one money manager

For households where one spouse quietly handles the financial details.

Widows, widowers, and adult children

For families trying to reduce confusion before paperwork becomes urgent.

Financial organizers

For anyone who wants a respectful handoff before handing over private account access.

Fewer mystery accounts

Better first calls

The right advisor, tax pro, attorney, or insurer is easier to reach.

FAQ

Good questions before you buy

Is this financial advice?

No. It organizes facts and questions so a spouse can find the right information and professionals.

Should I include account numbers?

No. The map is designed for locations, contacts, and instructions rather than sensitive numbers or passwords.

Can I use this with an advisor?

Yes. It can help prepare facts and questions for a financial, tax, legal, or insurance professional.

Does this replace estate documents?

No. It is an organization workbook and does not create or replace legal documents.

Built-In Boundaries

A money map, not financial advice

The workbook helps buyers organize locations, contacts, due dates, and questions. It does not recommend investments, taxes, withdrawals, claims, account changes, or legal actions.

Important note

Silver & Cents and RetireHub provide general education and organization tools. This kit is not financial, investment, tax, legal, insurance, benefits, Social Security, Medicare, or accounting advice.
