Protect What Matters Most — Your Children’s Future

Give Your Children the Security They Deserve


When you have minor children, estate planning is more than a financial decision — it’s a promise to protect, guide, and provide. A thoughtful plan ensures your kids are cared for by people you trust, and that your assets are managed responsibly for their future. We help parents make those decisions with confidence.

Without a Plan, the Courts Decide

 If something unexpected happens, your children’s care, inheritance, and future could be decided by a judge. Naming legal guardians, creating trusts, and documenting your wishes ensures your family is protected — and your voice is heard.

Name Legal Guardians

Decide who will raise your children if you’re unable to. Don’t leave it to the court.

Avoid Probate & Delays

Keep your family’s affairs private and efficient through trust-based planning.

Establish Trusts for Minors

Avoid direct inheritance to children. Use trusts to manage funds until they’re mature.

Control When & How Kids Inherit

Distribute funds gradually, with age-based milestones or for specific needs.

Include Instructions for Daily Life

From education to values, you can leave guidance for how you want your kids raised.

Name Temporary Guardians

Make sure someone you trust can step in immediately if you can’t be there.

Estate planning for children helps you protect their future and provide the stability they need — no matter what life brings.

Frequently Asked Questions About Estate Planning for Parents

  • Who should I name as my child’s guardian?

    Not necessarily. We’ll review what you already have and update or replace only what’s needed.

  • Can I leave instructions about how I want my kids raised?

    Yes. While not legally binding, letters of intent and guardian guidance can be incredibly helpful.

  • What if I have life insurance or retirement savings?

    We help you coordinate beneficiary designations and structure payouts to go through a trust for your children.

  • Do both parents need a plan?

    Yes. Ideally, you create a joint plan with mirror provisions — especially if you share legal responsibility.
