Thanks everyone for the suggestions. All of them were good ones. I just have to take it a step at a time. I know he just wants me to take care of it, but I feel weird just making the decisions on my own. Maybe I'll get used to it after a while.
I will try to get more involved a little bit at a time. He did say he would go with me to see a financial planner.

I have quicken fro my freelance stuff and never thought about using it for the home, but it would be perfect.
