Survivor Assistance

Your family is our family


No one anticipates the unexpected happening to them or their families. Without the right team, though, navigating the complicated realities of a death in the family can feel incredibly disorienting and isolating. LifeGuide clients have peace of mind knowing their loved ones have a trusted team in place to help them manage their finances and walk through the grieving process.

As a LifeGuide client, am I required to work with a specific attorney?

10 years ago my husband died suddenly. We had diverse investments that overwhelmed me. LifeGuide took me by the hand (figuratively) and guided me prayerfully, compassionately as they assisted me toward streamlining my finances and plan for my future. Over these 10 years, my investments have grown as have my relationships with the LifeGuide team. They are more like family. I have total confidence in the plan for my future. They are intentional about every part of my investment plan. I am included in all decisions. I highly recommend this very professional, knowledgeable and kind staff.— KimAs posted in Kim's Google Review
