Thanks and have a wonderful, spectacular day!

An advisor is just that, an advisor. By speaking to one does not necessarily mean you are committed to them to become your "agent" down the road.

As things progress your son may decide that if lightning does strike and he accepts a pro offer, the advisor you have been talking to can become his agent once you sign a pro contract.

The obvious thing here is to make sure you protect your son's amateur status. Do not sign anything with an agent until you son signs a pro contract.
