Changing their name may be an important step a transgender or nonbinary person takes to embrace their identity. But doing so is seldom easy and can create even more problems — particularly for your finances — after the fact, according to a recent white paper published by J.P. Morgan Wealth Management. Credit reports using deadnames — former names that individuals no longer use — are common and can result in credit discrimination against trans people, J.P. Morgan says. Getting approved to rent an apartment is just one of the issues that can arise out of inaccuracies on your credit report. Potential employers, utilities and phone companies and more may pull your credit report as part of a background check to hire you or establish services at your home.

☆ Take 3 steps to protect your assets if you're LGBTQ, say experts: This is 'our first recommendation to every couple'

When it comes to money, members of the LGBTQ community can be vulnerable targets for malicious actors. One area that many people overlook: estate planning. Put your wishes in trusted handsThe idea of a "chosen family" has been common in the LGBTQ community and other marginalized groups for generations. "Our first recommendation to every couple, regardless of whether you're married or not, is get basic estate planning documents in place — wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health-care directives, revisit all your beneficiary designations. Emphasize the need to keep these family members out of your plans and add "no-contest" provisions that penalize legal attacks on your estate, Hahn says.

Epstein will be charged with one count of sex trafficking of minors and one count of conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking of minors. JPMorgan Chase was aware in 2006 of accusations that disgraced former financier Jeffrey Epstein paid to have underaged girls brought to his home, according to the latest allegations in a high-profile legal case. Erdoes was referring to accusations gleaned from news reports, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. In her deposition, Erdoes testified that JPMorgan dropped Epstein as a client in 2013 after she learned that his withdrawals were for "actual cash," according to the suit. But Epstein had made cash withdrawals totaling more than $800,000 in each of 2004 and 2005.

But matching five of the numbers still means a $1 million payout — and 22 people across 16 different states may have winning tickets, according to Powerball. The automatic 24% federal tax rate would take a $1 million payout down to $760,000, according to Powerball's tax calculator. There are enough horror stories of lottery winners squandering their earnings to make winning a major prize seem like more trouble than it's worth. A smaller prize takes a bit of the pressure off, but anyone receiving such a large cash payout can make mistakes. Common advice for lottery winners says to take the prize as an annuity to extend its life.
