Top planning for children with special needs financial advisors in Michigan
The right financial advisor for you depends on how you weigh location, expertise, experience, the clients they typically serve, and how they work with you.
If you have a child with special needs, planning for their long-term care and financial security is crucial. Without careful planning, you might overlook important benefits or protections that can affect your child's quality of life.
- Government benefits navigation. Confirm how the advisor helps you understand and preserve eligibility for programs like Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
- Special needs trusts. Ask about their experience setting up trusts that protect your child's assets without disqualifying them from benefits.
- Future care coordination. Look for advisors who consider how your child's needs may change over time and plan accordingly.
- Family involvement. Check how they include siblings or other family members in planning to ensure a supportive network.
Here are top matches to get you started. Review each profile to compare experience, credentials, and approach.

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
