Excellent list of tips! It’s important to do this even when it’s a friend or relative making the recommendations.

Great tips! Sometimes we forget, too, that we should also ask about the investments the adviser is making. Do they sound overly complicated? Is everything based on a “proprietary” system? These are things to worry about as well.
