Need Help Finding a Financial Planner and Trust Lawyer

Hi K.,

I know a GREAT financial planner. Her name is DeDe Jones. She is with Innovative Financial and her website is www.innovativefinancial.biz. I have my own business and my husband is a senior exec for a Fortune 1000 company. DeDe works great with both entrpenuers as well as corporate people. She's a CPA & CFP. She is also great for busy moms as she will come to you!

I wish I could help. But I understand the need to get things in order. I am going through a divorce and need the same kind of help. Please, if you get some good advice or find a financial planner, please let me know!

Good Morning K., my husband is a partner in a financial firm and he would welcome the opportunity to visit with you and your husband. He would also be able to recommend an attorney to draft the trust paperwork.
His name is Mike and can be reached at ###-###-####. His website is www.highpointgrp.com

Hi K.,
Kudos to you for having the foresight to plan ahead! We've just gone through/been working through some of these things too.

Cameron Morgan from A&I Financial Services is wonderful! ###-###-####

Also for a trust lawyer, we've used Susan Goddard of Goddard & Goddard ###-###-####

If you contact either of them, say Hi from me.

K.,

I just wanted to add that when you're looking for a planner, I would recommend someone who doesn't carry a product line. Make sure they are an "independent" planner. If they only work for one company, in my opinion, they are not working for the client. They are working to gain business for that company and they get bonuses based on their results. An independent planner is not tied to any company and can use any products they see that fit for their client. Planners have different methods of earning their fees and make sure you understand their fee structure ahead of time. I would also recommend that they have a CFP certification. The financial planning organization called the FPA has a website that lists ethical planners in your area: http://www.fpanet.org/plannersearch/search.cfm?WT.svl=0 It can be a good place to start. I'd be happy to answer questions. I just really don't like it when someone is taken advantage of in this field and it does happen.

I am a financial planner with a CFP certification. I have been doing financial planning for 10 years and would be happy to help you. My first consultation is always free. I live and work in Arvada, but go to people's homes for meetings. Let me know if you're interested. As for trust/estate attorneys, I know some in Denver and Evergreen, but not in the Broomfield area.

I don't have a financial planner to recommend, but I work at a terrific law firm (Holland & Hart) with some nationally ranked estate/trust attorneys as well as tax attorneys. I know they could recommend financial planners. My favorite estate attorney is Carol Warnick. (http://www.hollandhart.com/peopleprofile.cfm?IDName=Perso...) She's excellent and has a good sense of humor to boot. She set up my will and accompanying documents. You can tell her A. Tupler recommended you.

Good luck.

Hey K.!

I am new to mamasource and happened by your request shearly by chance. I have a wonderful financial planner for my husband and I. We have two girls (3 and 5) and Andy has set us up with an incredible system. His name is Andy Goldberg and he is with Edward Jones Investments. His office number is ###-###-#### and he is located in Arvada (don't worry, he travels, and a lot further than Broomfield). I also know a great Estate Planning lawyer, if that is the type of 'trust' you need. He set up our wills so the girls were taken care of in case of any problems. If this is the type of lawyer you need, just shoot me an email if you are interesed.

Good job!!

K., are you a moxie mom? If so, (it's not that expensive if you aren't--$50), you get 20% off with Kurt Hofgard, who specializes in estates: http://www.estateplanning.com/hofgard. I heard him speak and he's very impressive and helpful. We also go through Edward Jones for the financial side (seems best to have a planner deal with finances and a laywer deal with your will, trusts, etc.). They have them all over the place, including in Broomfield & Brighton. Best of luck!
