<prompt> Human: Hello pf. This question is more so for my father than myself. My mother is critically ill and has a high chance of passing. My mother was the finance person in the marriage and my dad would be left to pick up whats left. My question is,1if my mother has loans and credit cards in her name what should he do? Also how can we check if she has any 401k or work benifit program? Thank you for your help everyone.  <response>: Im sorry to hear about your situation. Dealing with finances at a time like this can be difficult and awkward, but its a good idea to get everything in order. If youre worried about any significant accounts in particular, I would highly recommend talking to an estate planning attorney. If youre just dealing with some smaller balances, you should be able to handle most issues through the credit card companies and employer directly.
