<prompt> Human: A few years back, my parents inherited about 250,000 held in an account with Fidelity that was being managed by a financial advisor. My parents are retired, in their early 70s and would like to withdraw some money about 1000 a month from this account. This is just extra income, not a necessity, as they have enough money coming in from Social Security and my fathers pension to cover their expenses.My mom mentioned to me that when she called to ask about the withdrawl, they gave her the runaround about taking the money, asked her what it was for, why did she need it, etc. I took a look at the account and see that the money is spread across about 30-40 different mutual funds.Ive asked my parents to find out how this advisor is being paid. Also, for this amount of money, I dont think theres a need for the advisor, and I can do this myself for them, investing the money in the usual three-fund portfolio of index funds, setting aside 12,000 a year for them to withdraw.Is this the right thing to do? How do I fire him? Do I just ask him to give my parents access to the Fidelity account which they already do have and to remove himself from the process?Thanks in advance for the help!  <response>: your parents can drop the advisor and have just a regular account. Pretty straight forward, just have them call fidelity and tell them what they want.
