Helping a Relative or Friend

Helping a relative or friend with a property-related change can be straightforward or surprisingly complex. Often, a big part of an owner’s net worth is trapped in their property, and they need a way out that fits their financial and lifestyle goals. The owner may not understand their options, or may just need a helping hand.

Tip
Try to remove emotions from the decision-making process. Discuss finances with your loved one (and their family, if appropriate) to ensure decisions are based on current and future circumstances.
Impacts

It’s not always easy to support a family member or friend:

  • Overwhelmed by complex retirement and estate planning decisions

  • Insufficient time to help as much as you may want

  • Concern about a relative’s cognitive or physical health

  • Fear about your relative’s future income and cash flow

  • Wanting the best, but managing everyone’s expectations

  • Concerns about market conditions, or new tax laws that could limit options
