Benefits for Surviving Spouse

By Sabrina Winters

If you are a surviving spouse and need some assistance on where to start and what to do regarding claiming spousal benefits, you may want to consider visiting http://www.aarp.org/family/lifeafterloss/articles/final_details_claiming_benefits.html and reading the article “Final Details: Claiming Benefits” compiled by AARP.  It is a good start and should help alleviate a few obstacles or at the very least provide you with some contact numbers.

As a surviving spouse you should now be concerned with your own Estate Plan and how the death of your spouse will affect the distribution of your assets at your death.  Once you have moved passed this very difficult time, take the time to think about yourself and plan for your own future.
