Your Most Important Asset: Your Kids
Failing to plan ahead for your children's care can lead to unexpected outcomes like:
-
Your children could be placed in the temporary care of strangers.
-
A family member who may look good on paper, but you would never choose to raise your children, may be given custody.
-
A judge who does not know your family could decide who raises your children.
-
Your child could be asked to make difficult decisions before they are ready and while they are still dealing with the loss of a parent.
-
Your loved ones could face a painful custody battle or challenges to your chosen guardians.
-
At age 18, your children could receive a lump sum inheritance with no guidance or protection.
-
Predators and scammers may target young adults who suddenly come into money.
Many online or incomplete estate plans overlook these issues because they are not designed from a parent's perspective. That is why we include a Kids Protection Plan® with every estate plan we create for families with minor children. It ensures your children are always cared for by the people you trust and protected in the way you would want.
