You just had a baby, now what?
You've just had a new baby and the number of things you need to do can be overwhelming. Here is a handy top five of the most important things to do:
1 - Get your child's birth certificate and social insurance number. The government newborn registration services website lets you do this quick, secure and free.
2 - Update your child on your benefits plan at work. Your HR admin has instructions for this.
3 - If you already have life insurance, update the beneficiary to include your new son or daughter and look at adding additional coverage as this is a major life event. If you don't already
have life insurance, get it.
4 - Write or review your will. This is a crucial step to ensure your children are looked after if anything happens to you or your spouse.
5 - Set up their education savings plan as soon as possible. There are government grants and incentives that give you free money.
There are many things you need to do when you have a baby. These are five very important ones. If you need to trust an advisor to help with anything mention please call or email and we'd be happy to help.
