I applaud and admire your work.
Here is an issue that might enlarge the scope of your marker/offerings and in which you could help me.
I am in process of creating a trust for a 12 y.o. grandchild who is learning disabled but literate and interested already in bank accounts and stocks. It is impossible to predict whether this child will be able to graduate from HS or college because of the disability. I would like to make some future age-related distributions to the child from the trust contingent on financial literacy and ability to manage investments. Can you suggest some courses, programs or tests that could be used as objective measures of such ability? They could perhaps serve as conditions for such distributions?
This type of thinking might enlarge your markets to include attorneys who specialize in estates and trusts. Of course a standard such as this could be useful as a contingency for almost any type of beneficiary, not just one who is learning disabled.
Thank you for this. I am not aware of any courses or books intended to test a person for financial literacy and ability to manage one’s own affairs. Sounds like a great idea! You could contact Children’s Financial Network or other organizations (e.g., the Foundation for Financial Planning) to see what they offer.
