How do I ensure my children are properly taken care of?
The most important steps are naming a guardian for minor children in your will and establishing a trust that holds and manages your assets for their benefit until they are old enough to handle them responsibly. Without these provisions, a court will appoint a guardian and oversee asset management without any input from you.
Our estate planning attorneys help parents build plans that include staged distributions, special protections for minor children, and trustee oversight to safeguard inheritances from misuse.
