2. Checklist of taxes, estate costs, liens, and advisor questions to verify before allocating money.
3. Proceeds allocation framework by must-pay, reserve, debt, goals, investing, giving, and personal use.
4. Scenario table for conservative, balanced, and growth-oriented allocations.
5. Family or beneficiary communication plan if multiple people are involved.
6. Debt payoff and emergency fund decision rules.
7. Long-term investing considerations to discuss with a qualified advisor.
8. Emotional decision safeguards for grief, pressure, and large purchases.
9. 90-day action checklist with documents to store.
10. Questions to ask a CPA, estate attorney, and fiduciary financial planner.

Keep the plan practical, cautious, and respectful of the emotional context.
