Wealth Planning for Widows

Losing a spouse changes everythingโ€”emotionally, legally, and financially. At Global Advisers, we provide calm, experienced guidance during a time of uncertainty. Whether you’re facing immediate decisions or adjusting to long-term independence, we help you move forward with clarity, dignity, and support.

Build With a Team That Understands Business

Planning for Stability, Security & Renewal

In the first phase, our focus is on stabilizing cash flow, identifying immediate needs, and organizing legal and financial documents. Over time, we help you redefine goals, reallocate assets, and build a strategy that reflects your new life.

We also provide support with Social Security claiming, pension options, insurance review, and survivor benefits to ensure no detail is overlooked.

Why Widows Need Specialized Financial Planning

Widowhood brings a sudden shift in financial responsibility. From navigating probate and benefit claims to retitling assets, updating estate plans, and adjusting income strategyโ€”each decision carries emotional weight and long-term impact.

We serve as your advocate and guide, helping you gain control, make informed decisions, and transition from crisis to confidenceโ€”on your timeline.

Compassionate Guidance with Practical Support

Widows often face both grief and paperwork. We simplify complexity and help restore peace of mind:

  • Reviewing wills, trusts, and beneficiary designations
  • Managing inherited IRAs and investment accounts
  • Updating budgets, titling, and financial documents

Building Wealth with Confidence

After the initial transition, we help you envision your financial futureโ€”whether itโ€™s travel, charitable giving, supporting family, or planning for a second chapter.

  • Long-term income modeling
  • Estate and legacy planning
  • Coordination with attorneys and CPAs

While we do not provide legal services, we collaborate with your attorneys to help ensure your financial strategies reflect your goals.

FAQs for Widows

How should I handle relocation or career changes within the federal system?2025-07-06T04:59:28-04:00

Transfers, promotions, and agency changes may impact benefits, tax location, and housing costs. We offer location-specific tax guidance, benefits coordination, and asset planning to maintain financial stability through career transitions.

Can I retire early as a federal employee?2025-07-06T04:59:17-04:00

Many federal roles allow for early retirement under special provisions (e.g., law enforcement, air traffic control). We help you navigate Minimum Retirement Age (MRA), early withdrawal options, and the financial impact of leaving service before full pension eligibility.

How does FEGLI (Federal Employeesโ€™ Group Life Insurance) fit into a long-term plan?2025-07-06T04:59:07-04:00

While FEGLI is widely accessible, it may not be cost-effective long term. We compare FEGLI to private insurance options and determine the best coverage based on your familyโ€™s needs, financial goals, and career stage.

What should I know about the FERS pension and Social Security coordination?2025-07-16T13:05:58-04:00

FERS includes a defined benefit pension, Social Security, and the TSP. We model how these pieces work together, helping you understand your income stream in retirement and plan around inflation adjustments, survivor benefits, and early retirement penalties.

How can I make the most of my TSP (Thrift Savings Plan)?2025-07-06T04:58:45-04:00

The TSP is a powerful retirement savings vehicle, but selecting the right allocation and understanding the Roth vs. Traditional option is key. We help federal employees align TSP contributions with overall retirement goals, risk tolerance, and tax strategy.
