Check with your state regulator, a lot of things are happening in compliance terms at the SEC and state levels, you don't want to put yourself in some kind of compliance violations for managing "friends" money and getting only a small fee for it.
Your state regulator might ask that you file some registration paper and take a level 65 exam.

I'm just curious as to if this is perfectly legal to take fees from spouse's accounts, particularly from the IRA account(s). Technically you can take fees from your own accounts into master (advisor) account.
