The Powerball jackpot, sometimes promising over a billion dollars, is fueled by the dreams of many people – like you – who think, “What if?”
Odds are no one reading this will end up as a winner of the jackpot. But some of you may be wondering what to do with a smaller windfall, such as an inheritance.
Just as there can be unexpected consequences of winning the lottery, an unplanned inheritance can launch an emotional rollercoaster. With the loss of a loved one, you may experience grief and a guilt-driven desire to use the money in a way that would honor the deceased. You may worry over the added responsibilities, or you may feel excitement over the new spending opportunities. Besides your emotional health, there are risks to your financial health, too. Sudden wealth – whether large or small – can disrupt your financial mindset and long-term goals.
The first step is to consult with a financial advisor.
Navigating an inheritance can be simple—or incredibly complex. Whether you’re receiving straightforward assets like cash, CDs, or a home, or facing more intricate situations involving retirement accounts, trusts, or business interests, the right guidance can make all the difference.
