Estate Plan “Starter Kits”

Did your child just turn 18 or are they preparing to go to college?

When a child turns 18, they become an adult in the eyes of the law. Parents can no longer legally speak for or make decisions about healthcare – ranging from making doctor appointments, making decisions during a health crisis or financial management for their now adult child. Recognizing our new adult children still need their parents’ help, we created an estate plan Starter Kit to ensure parents can continue to legally assist their children with healthcare issues and financial management.

Modern Estate Planning

Modern life is complicated and “traditional” estate plans don’t cover important modern issues such as blended families, long-term care costs or special needs loved ones. The modern plan is all about protecting you and your loved ones from unnecessary expense, time delay of government interference and keeping control of your assets and rights. It creates a system to keep you independent and protect what you have worked so hard for from the clutches of predators and the government. It also provides a system to protect your children if anything happens to you.

Children’s Protection Planning

We are experts in planning for young families, and recognize the importance of planning for the care of minor children. Young families are often overlooked when it comes to traditional estate planning. Traditional plans only name permanent guardians for minor children, which does not protect them from a stay with Child Protective Services if something happens to you and the authorities must be called. These plans also do not protect your children from having someone your do not want being named as guardian.

Special Needs Planning

Proper planning for a loved one (be it a child or adult) with a disability or degenerative disease is critical for when you can no longer be here. A thoughtfully drafted estate plan holds the key to avoiding a stark future for your loved one. In addition to providing a plan for your family’s protection and inheritance, a modern estate plan for parents with a disabled child needs to contain provisions which address special circumstances.

CLIENT Story

I was absolutely without a clue as to how to begin or what I should do to establish an estate plan. I did know that I wanted someone I could trust, that was honest and I would have confidence in. I was referred to Heather by my friend who was being legally advised by Heather on another estate. She was very satisfied with her work and thought I might be happy with her service. At our consultation appointment, her presentation was very thorough. I had lots of questions, and she was easy to talk to and was able to guide me to just the kind of estate plan I needed. That was 10 years ago. Due to circumstances in my life, I have had to make changes to my plan, and I always go back to her for her legal services and guidance. I have recommended Heather before.
