Frequently Asked Questions about Financial Planners

A sudden inheritance introduces decisions about taxes, investment, and financial goals that benefit from professional guidance. A financial planner helps you avoid common mistakes, understand your options, and build a plan aligned with your situation.

The terms are often used interchangeably, but a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) has completed specific education, exams, and continuing education requirements. Look for the CFP designation when selecting an advisor for comprehensive post-loss financial planning.

Avoid making major financial decisions — selling assets, withdrawing from retirement accounts, or making large gifts — before consulting a planner. Many decisions made in the first months after a loss can have lasting tax and financial consequences.

Most charge either a flat fee, an hourly rate, or a percentage of assets under management. Fee-only planners do not earn commissions on products they recommend. Check each advisor's fee structure directly through Autumn.
