❓ My dad wants to add me to his bank account in case something happens to him.
Should he?
We think it’s great that you want to help your dad! But there’s a better way to help him. If something happens to you (
divorce, lawsuit, etc.) and your name was on his bank account,
then your dad’s money 💵 could be in jeopardy.
A better solution:
👉 Your dad can put his assets into a trust and then he can list you as the successor trustee.
His money will be protected and that’s always a win!..
