Financial support between parents and adult children is often presented as temporary help, but over time, support can become an expectation, a pattern, or even part of the family’s financial structure. What begins as covering rent, paying a bill, helping after a setback, or “just getting them through this season” can quietly reshape retirement plans, family dynamics, estate conversations, and a client’s sense of responsibility.
This course examines the emotional and financial complexity of adult-child dependence and explores the challenges advisors face when support is ongoing, undefined, or difficult to discuss. Participants will learn to identify when financial help has become structural, guide clients through clearer boundaries and expectations, and support more thoughtful conversations around sustainability, family roles, and long-term planning.
