Coping with loss in the USA

Post new topic

Cheryl

Hello everyone,

Managing or preparing for a death in the USA is a complex process that requires a thorough understanding of the laws and procedures in place in the USA.

This situation raises several questions:

What are the steps to take to retrieve the belongings of a deceased loved one in the USA?

What are the resources or specialised institutions available to assist in this process? What types of services can they offer in this context?

In the case of a will, how can one ensure that it is recognised and respected in the USA? What challenges arise from differences in legislation?

Who should be informed first of the death of a loved one in the USA? What are the most effective communication channels for notifying relatives and institutions?

What are the implications for dependent visas, such as those for spouses and children, when the visa holder passes away in the USA? What steps need to be taken to address this situation?

Please feel free to share any information you find useful and your experiences on this topic.

Thank you for your contribution.
