Estate Planning for Couples with Minor Children

Your children are your legacy and the most precious part of any family. Our estate plans mean that you can be assured that your minor children will be financially, physically, and emotionally cared for if something happens to one or both parents at the same time. It’s important to be the one in charge of appointing a legal guardian for your children. Not just any relative will do – it needs to be someone capable and trustworthy beyond comparison. It’s not something that you should trust the courts to decide for you upon your passing.

A well-drafted estate plan doesn’t just give you the confidence that your children will be in good hands – it assures you that your estate will pass to them with minimal interference, too. Minimize taxes and reduce the risks of litigation or collection with a plan that comes with:

• Last will(s) and testament(s) with a testamentary trust
• Durable power(s) of attorney for property
• Power(s) of attorney for healthcare
• Living will(s)
• Guardianship designation
• One in-person meeting to review first drafts
• One revision of first drafts
• One signing ceremony
• Second set of original documents
