United States After-Death Checklist: A Practical Guide on What to Do and Who to Notify (US Edition)
Written by professionals who've walked this path themselves — for the families who need it most.
When someone you love dies, you're handed a list of urgent tasks at the exact moment you have the least capacity to handle them. Death certificates, Social Security, banks, pensions, digital accounts — all while grieving.
Wayne Hutchinson, MCMA (Member of the Complementary Medical Association), and Nadeen Swaby, founders of Handle My Affairs, combine specialist training in grief, bereavement, and trauma-informed support with their own lived experience of loss. They created this guide because they know firsthand how much harder grief becomes when no one hands you a clear roadmap.
This isn't a generic checklist. It's a step-by-step, plain-English guide to the entire after-death process in the United States — from the first few days through final estate administration — covering exactly who to notify, what forms you'll need, and which deadlines actually matter.
Inside this guide, you will find:
- Immediate steps to take after a death, including obtaining certified death certificates and arranging a funeral
- Who to notify, including the Social Security Administration, Medicare, Veterans Affairs, the IRS, state agencies, and other key organisations
- A comprehensive guide to Social Security survivor benefits and how to maximise your entitlements
- Probate explained in plain English, including small estate procedures and when probate may not be required
- Federal estate tax, the Step-Up in Basis rule, portability, and important tax considerations for inherited assets
- What happens if someone dies without a Will, including state intestacy rules and inheritance rights
- Guidance on inherited IRAs, 401(k)s, HSAs, and retirement accounts, including the SECURE Act's 10-year rule
- Joint bank accounts, jointly owned property, community property, and beneficiary designations
- Life insurance claims, employer death benefits, pensions, savings bonds, and Treasury securities
- Finding unclaimed property, dormant bank accounts, lost pensions, forgotten retirement benefits, and other overlooked assets
- Medicaid estate recovery, medical debt, and protecting the estate from unnecessary losses
- Digital legacy planning, including Facebook, Google, Apple, LinkedIn, PayPal, Amazon, and other online accounts
- Guardianship, trusts, and financial considerations for protecting children
- Essential checklists, key contacts, and support organisations to help you stay organised throughout the process
This updated 2026 edition includes guidance on the latest Social Security survivor benefit changes, inherited retirement account rules, federal estate tax thresholds, state-specific considerations, unclaimed assets, digital legacy planning, and many other topics that families often discover too late.
Whether you are dealing with a bereavement today or planning ahead to protect your loved ones, this checklist is designed to bring structure, reassurance, and peace of mind during one of life's most difficult moments.
Please note: Laws relating to probate, inheritance, estate administration, taxation, and other matters vary from state to state. This guide explains federal rules and common state practices but is intended for informational purposes only. It does not replace professional legal, financial, or tax advice specific to your circumstances.

Diritto di recesso
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
-
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
-
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
-
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
