How 529s Affect Financial Aid

in Fund Discussions
FYI: We again asked experts to help us answer readers’ questions about saving for college. This month, it starts with an overarching concern parents have about “529” college-savings plans when thinking about how to pay for school.

    Um, I am not a wsj subscriber so cant read article. But the issue is one that rankles as I made myself, the grandparent, the owner of 3 529s. Maybe that was a bad move. Who should be the owner if the grandkids want to apply FAFSA? Am i just dumb or are the regs really this obfuscating?
