A financial planner can help families and loved ones create financial plans and provide financial advice in areas such as estate planning, retirement accounts and long-term care. In addition, a financial planner can help families and seniors with:
- Budgeting
- Investing
- Goal setting
- Tax planning
- Health care planning
- Insurance decisions
- End of life plans
There are many different designations for financial planners; we recommend choosing a planner that's a fiduciary, or who is legally bound to put their clients' financial well-being before their own. Investment professionals who work on a commission-only basis may promote certain products, whereas a fee-only financial planner charges an hourly or set rate or a rate that's based on a percentage of the assets managed. Keep these differences in mind when choosing a financial planner.
