Planning for Your Children / Guardianship

Responsible parents protect their children, and that means you must think about the unthinkable.

THE ALARMING TRUTH

Only 69% of parents have not named legal guardians for their children. Of the 31% who have, most have made one of 6 common mistakes. That means that if you have minor children at home (or children who have special needs), it’s time to review your plan for their care, if and when something happens to you.

Begin here with our report on the 6 common mistakes parents make when naming legal guardians for their kids and how you can fix them now.

TAKE THE FIRST STEP!
Then, consider taking the very first step that every parent must have in place (no matter whether you have $1 or $10 million), and name legal guardians for your children for the long-term here.

DON’T LET STRANGERS MAKE THE DETERMINATION!

If you and your spouse/partner cannot agree on who would be the ideal guardian(s) for your kids, that’s something we can help with.  We have special training from the Family Wealth Planning Institute on helping parents work through this critical decision.

If you do nothing, the decision about who would raise your children (if something were to happen to you) would be left up to a judge to decide. A judge who doesn’t know you, doesn’t know what’s important to you, and doesn’t know your children will make all the decisions about who cares for the people who are most important to you in the world.

We know that’s not what you want.  And, truth is …  there may never be a perfect solution for you, but there is definitely a solution that is better than your children being raised by someone you didn’t choose.

In addition, we will guide you to put in place a comprehensive Kids Protection Plan® that will ensure you have handled all 7 Must-Dos when it comes to ensuring the well-being and care of your children by naming legal guardians for the long-term and for the short-term to protect your kids, no matter what.
