Folks - it's possible we create a special needs trust (either at death or during lifetime) but I need to research that well first. Child's only 7 yrs old so a while to go but you never know what life brings on so we may set one up with minimal funding for now. My main - is VOO better suited than FXAIX? So far, we are only invested in FXAIX in Fidelity taxable accounts but thinking of switching to VOO given it's more portable to vehicles like SNT's. We may want to add future cash into VOO to bring it up to a 70/30 FXAIX/VOO portfolio long run. I know expense ratio & tax efficiency is very similar. Thanks
If VOO is quite portable while FXAIX isn't, I'm considering all future investments in VOO itself. Are there any downsides doing so within a Fidelity account? Of course, I'll engage an estate planning attorney on SNT trust but for the financial investment decision, it seems VOO is a no-brainer for taxable accounts
Sam, I have a great estate planning office to recommend. They're based in NYC. They also have a department for real estate transactions/closings, and we happened to work together on a good amount of transactions with other BiggerPockets users. Sharing their contact in a private message...
