Suddenly having assets that you didn’t anticipate can be difficult to manage even when you’re excited about the new prosperity. A sudden influx of wealth presents its own set of problems that require a measured and deliberate response. 

Give yourself a little bit of time to adjust to the shock first. During this period, avoid making any major decisions. It might feel as though you have overwhelming possibilities in the short term, and it is a good idea to take some time to decompress before making any final determinations.

Make sure that you seek out passions and endeavors that are a joy, but you should also set up a consultation with an asset protection specialist in addition to your accountant or financial manager. You may want to consider setting up plans for your future beneficiaries or talk about how you could gift to charity. All of these are important options that should be considered with care.

Reach out to our offices today to set up a consultation to discuss how an influx of wealth impacts your present and your future.
