Good morning! It's Daniel de Visé with your Daily Money.

Nothing is certain, it is said, but death and taxes.

Yet, many Americans know surprisingly little about the legal process that follows a loved one's death.

Rate cut? See you in September. . .

This week's Federal Reserve meeting probably won't result in an interest rate cut, but it will likely lay the ground for one in September, Medora Lee reports.

The Fed's benchmark, short-term rate has stood at a 23-year high of 5.25% to 5.5% since July 2023 as the Fed waits for inflation to cool further. Annual inflation dipped in June to 3.0 %, far below the two-decade high of 9.1% in June 2022, but still above the Fed's 2% goal.
