Look for advisors who provide transparent fee disclosures upfront and maintain professional liability insurance.

Avoid anyone who insists on cash-only payments or refuses to provide documentation of services in writing.

You can verify credentials by checking the advisor's registration with the SEC (sec.gov) or FINRA (finra.org). Ask for their CRD number and confirm their licenses are current and in good standing.
Ask about their fee structure, investment philosophy, experience with clients in your situation, how often you'll communicate, and request references from existing clients. Also clarify what services are included and any potential conflicts of interest.
A fiduciary is legally required to act in your best interest. Ask directly whether they are a fiduciary for all services or only certain ones. Request this commitment in writing as part of your service agreement.
