Child Services

Your children could be placed into CPS even if you have a will or living trust, or left in the care of someone you would never want raising them.

Court Decisions

A Judge who doesn’t know you, or your family, will decide who will raise your kids, even if it’s the last person you would ever want.

Probate Costs

About 5% of your assets could be lost to probate, delaying access for months or years and limiting the resources available to your kids.

No Asset Protection

When your kids turn 18, they receive whatever assets remain in one lump sum — outright, with no safeguards, guidance, or long-term protection.

Predatory Targeting

There are unscrupulous people who make it their business to review public records to find out what 18 year olds are coming into money.

Planning Gaps

The vast majority of estate planning attorneys simply do not address these issues, and do not plan from a parent's perspective.
