When death, divorce, or incapacity strikes, financial advisors become the default coordinator: managing grief, chasing institutions, and absorbing emotional load. Its a heavy burden no one trained you for. Yet, despite the more than 200 hours spent and approximately $150K of unbilled time per event, 70-80% of surviving spouses/heirs switch advisors within 2 years of a loss.
