An estate plan gives you control, and lets you make decisions for your children if something happens.
Ready to protect your children’s future?
A well-crafted estate plan is crucial for protecting your family’s future. It consists of key documents, such as wills, trusts, powers of attorney, beneficiary deeds, and transfer on death instruments.
Wills specify how your assets will be distributed and who will care for your minor children, they replace the state’s default laws, and tell the probate court how to distribute your assets, they also control who is appointed to take care of your children.
Powers of attorney appoint someone to make financial and medical decisions for you. Without a power of attorney, if you become incapacitated, even for a short time, someone has to pay the courts to appoint a guardian for you.
Trusts help you to plan for your children’s future. You can use them to allow for contingencies that you cannot see today to ensure that your children are financially protected for their future. This gives you the most control over their future, today.

What Happens if You Pass Without an Estate Plan?
Death can bring out the best, and the worst in people. An estate plan is an insurance policy to make sure your family is protected, and your children are cared for the way you want them to be. With a proper plan in place, you can ensure your children avoid the courts and the costs. You do not want to have your family use money that should go to your children in a courtroom.
If you have children and pass without an estate plan, the state will determine what happens to your assets, and if both you and your spouse pass, the state will determine who has custody of your children. If there are fights between surviving parents or siblings, then this process could take months or years, and tens of thousands of dollars.
