LOS ANGELES, March 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- HCR Wealth Advisors (HCR), a comprehensive financial planning and investment management firm known for focusing on all aspects of their clients' financial well-being, recently announced the release of their Inheritor's Guide, an educational resource and comprehensive report designed to help inheritors and others who have come into sudden wealth determine what to do and what not to do after receiving a financial windfall.
"Receiving an inheritance or any form of sudden money can be a blessing in your life, but it usually comes with sadness and grief, and often with headaches and challenges," said Greg Heller, Founder and CEO of HCR Wealth Advisors. "If you're not careful and don't manage the funds properly, it's easy to let an inheritance go to waste or not be used to its full potential."
HCR crafted the guide with the financial health and debt prevention of inheritors in mind. Key points, such as establishing and/or reviewing your estate plan, remaining employed, paying off high interest rate debt, not immediately loaning money to loved ones, and more are included in the guide, along with additional salient advice. Individuals who have come into an inheritance or any form of sudden money and are looking for helpful information on how to utilize a windfall to its full potential are encouraged to download the guide.
"Financial planning can be initially daunting in novel situations, such as receiving an unexpected financial boon, and it is our honor as a trusted advisor and partner to step in and offer practical advice that is needed to navigate unfamiliar waters," added Heller. "Our guide is an easy-to-digest, readymade educational resource for inheritors who have concerns such as how to address being charitable with family and maintaining privacy where newfound wealth is attached."
