Synopsis
United States After-Death Checklist
A Practical, step-by-step guide on what to do and who to notify after a death
Losing a loved one is overwhelming. Alongside grief, families are often faced with complex legal, financial, and administrative responsibilities at a time when clarity and support are needed most.
The United States After-Death Checklist provides a clear, compassionate roadmap for navigating what to do when someone dies in the United States. Written in plain English, this practical guide helps you understand each step, avoid costly mistakes, and ensure nothing important is overlooked.
Unlike many bereavement guides, this book explains both federal requirements and highlights where state laws may differ, helping families confidently navigate one of life's most challenging experiences.
This comprehensive U.S.-specific guide walks you through the entire after-death process, from the first few days through to final estate administration, with clear explanations of who to notify, what forms are required, and which deadlines matter most.
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.
Written by Wayne Hutchinson and Nadeen Swaby, founders of Handle My Affairs, this guide combines professional training with lived experience of loss. Their approach is compassionate, practical, and focused on empowering families with clear, reliable information when they need it most.
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.
