CUNA Strategic Services is pleased to announce their new alliance with Peacefully, an all-in-one platform that helps members with estate planning and expertly settling affairs after the loss of a loved one. Peacefully was founded on the understanding that after a loved one passes, families face an overwhelming administrative burden that makes an already difficult time even harder. Peacefully’s goal is to empower individuals to prepare for the future and ensure their families receive expert guidance when they need it most. "Working through the planning phase with my aging parents has opened my eyes to how greatly this solution is needed," said Barb Lowman, CUDE, President, CUNA Strategic Services. "CSS is honored to work with Peacefully to bridge this gap for credit union members nationwide. We see tremendous value in helping to alleviate stress and uncertainty for members who find themselves in the situation where they must rush to create spreadsheets, documents, notebooks, and other tools to collect vital information and prepare to manage the business side of an emotional situation. We want to position people to proactively prepare so that when the time comes, they are ready for the administrative aspect and can give themselves time to grieve and process the loss.” Learn more about Peacefully: https://hubs.ly/Q03c998-0
