Take a few minutes to consider right now: if both you and your child’s other parent were to become incapacitated or pass away right now, who would step forward to care for your child? Would that be who you would want to raise your child, if you could not? Is that who you would want to take care of the financial assets you are leaving behind?

And, what about the short-term? Are your children often left in the care of a babysitter who would have no idea what to do if you didn’t make it home at the end of the evening? If not, even if you have named legal guardians, your child could be taken into the care of strangers if something happens to you, while the authorities figure out what to do.

Unfortunately, even if you have made the hard decisions and worked with a lawyer to name legal guardians in a Will, your kids could still be at risk because that would not take into account what happens if you become incapacitated, or if your named guardians all live far from your home, and it wouldn’t protect against anyone who may challenge your decisions. To ensure your kids are raised by the people you want and in the way you want, we can work with you to create a comprehensive Kids Protection Plan®.

If you are ready to take that step, start by sitting down with us. We can walk you step by step through creating a comprehensive Kids Protection Plan® that not only names a legal guardian for your kids in your Will, but also ensures that their care is fully provided for, in the short-term and the long-term, and in the event of your incapacity. And, if necessary, we can also ensure anyone you would not want to raise your kids, never could or would.
