Fee-only advisors for mid-life transitions

Mid-life transitions, including divorce, remarriage, inheritance, and a deliberate second-act career, reshape the plan enough that continuity with the old plan isn't the right starting point. Planning here is re-planning, often under time pressure, and the right specialty fit matters.
