Questions to ask any advisor
Before working with anyone on how to protect retirement savings, ask three things. First: are you licensed in Texas, and can I verify it? (Our TX license numbers are listed on this site.) Second: how are you paid, and does any recommendation change that? Third: what happens if my situation changes — health, market, family? A trustworthy advisor answers all three without hesitation.
