Why Community Banks Matter in End-of-Life Planning

Written By Amanda Herren

I am often one of the first points of contact when a family experiences a loss. From accessing accounts to navigating inheritance, my clients rely on my expertise. But beyond the financial, families face a complex web of practical, legal, and emotional tasks that can feel overwhelming. Graceful Exit is here to help. We specialize in both proactive end-of-life planning and post-death project management, offering guidance, education, and hands-on support for the countless details and decisions that arise—many of which are unexpected and outside the typical scope of financial services.

Our Proven Track Record: Fintech Collaboration

We’ve successfully partnered with a leading fintech company in the elder services space, co-creating a comprehensive playbook and educational materials to embed within their offerings. This collaboration empowered their clients to plan ahead and navigate the aftermath of loss more smoothly, while also strengthening client relationships and trust.
