If you’ve received a large inheritance, it may be tempting to view it as “found money” that can be spent freely. But it’s in your best interest not to make quick purchases or financial commitments. Wait until you know what your net proceeds from the estate will be. Once all fees and taxes are accounted for, the final settlement may be less than you expect. What if you’re receiving your inheritance through a trust? Learn the trust’s terms and understand the timing and amount of distributions and any conditions that must be satisfied to receive them.
