Top elder care planning financial advisors in St. Paul, MN
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.
You might need an elder care planning advisor if you're managing a parent's transition to assisted living or coordinating long-term care needs. Without focused expertise, it's easy to overlook how taxes and income sources interact with care expenses, leading to unexpected financial strain.
- Income and tax coordination. Ask how they balance your parent's income streams with Minnesota's tax rules and social services to stretch care dollars.
- Care cost forecasting. Confirm they model future care expenses realistically, including potential increases in assisted living or memory care fees.
- Benefit navigation. Check if they help identify and apply for government or community programs that can offset elder care costs.
- Family communication. See how they facilitate discussions among family members to align financial decisions with care goals.
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
