Having a Will Alone Simply Does Not Ensure the Care of Your Kids If the Unthinkable Happens to You!

If you are a parent of minor children (or those with special needs) who are counting on you, your estate plan must ensure your children will always be taken care of by the people you want, in the way you want, no matter what happens.

At Goodwill Law, one of our areas of greatest expertise is planning for the well-being and care of the children you love.

Without Proper Planning, If the Unthinkable Happens to You, Here’s What Could Happen:

●        Your children could be placed into Child Protective Services (CPS) even if you have a will in place; even if you have a living trust while your legal documents or located or your family is identified. Or worse, your kids could be left in the care of the one person in your family you would never want raising them;

●        A Judge who doesn’t know you, or your family, will decide who will raise your kids, even if it’s the last person you would ever want;

●        Approximately 5% of the total value of your assets could be lost due to probate, a court process that can tie up your assets for months or years and deprive your kids of the resources they need to live comfortably;

●        When your kids turn 18, they get a check for whatever assets are left – outright with no protection

●        There are unscrupulous people who make it their business to review public records to find out what 18 year olds are coming into money;

●        The vast majority of estate planning attorneys simply do not address these issues, and do not plan from a parent’s perspective.

Yes, these things scare me too. That’s why I offer a Kids Protection Plan® with every estate plan I prepare for families with young children.
