Take Ownership- It’s Your Money

After my parents first met with a wealth planner, my mother told me, “I felt stupid in there.” I had listened to the conversation and felt the same way. The discussion was a one-way conversation about transactional options, and the advisers talked mostly about complex planning tools and why my parents should use them.
I just kept thinking: They make me feel as if a person is a round hole but their square peg should fit anyway. The conversations didn’t come close to highlighting opportunities that spoke to my parents’ desires, and without getting to the heart, the conversation led to greater confusion and even more anxiety.
Wishing and hoping your loved ones will interpret your wishes after you’re gone isn’t good enough. It’s your wealth. Don’t you deserve to take ownership of the plan?
