As a parent, you’re likely hoping to leave your children an inheritance. In fact, doing so may be one of the primary factors motivating your life’s work. But without taking the proper precautions, the wealth you pass on is at serious risk of being accidentally lost or squandered due to common life events, such as divorce, serious debt, devastating illness, and unfortunate accidents.

In some cases, a sudden inheritance windfall can even wind up doing your kids more harm than good.

>> READ MY LATEST BLOG where I cover how to protect your children’s inheritance with a lifetime asset protection trust.

As a dad with three young children, caring for them is far and away my most pressing responsibility.

*****

If you're a mom or dad with children under the age of 18 at home, your number-one estate planning priority should be selecting and legally documenting both long and short-term guardians for your kids. Guardians are the people legally named to care for your children in the event something happens to you.

And if you’ve named guardians for your children in your will—even with the help of another lawyer—your kids could still be at risk of being taken into the care of strangers!

>> For this week’s blog, find out how naming guardians for your kids in your will can leave them at risk.

Whether you’ve named guardians for your kids in your will or have yet to take any action at all, you’ve come to the right place.

This can be an exciting and emotional time, and with so much going on, estate planning probably isn’t at the front of your (or their) mind right now.

However, estate planning should actually be a top priority for both you and your kids.

Read this week’s blog article to learn why you don’t let your kids leave home without signing these 2 important documents.

Unless you’ve created a proper estate plan, when you die many of your assets must first pass through the court process known as probate before those assets can be distributed to your heirs. Like most court proceedings, probate can be time-consuming, costly, and open to the public, and because of this, avoiding probate—and keeping your family out of court—is a central goal of most estate plans.

Read this week’s article to learn what probate means for you in the state of Georgia and how to avoid it.
