Considerations

Don’t leave it to the courts!

In the unfortunate event that parents pass away without a proper legal plan for their minor children, the court will step in to appoint a guardian and distribute assets. While custody is typically given to a close family member, this isn't always possible. If no suitable family member is available, the children may be placed in foster care until a guardian is found.

Even when a suitable family member is appointed as guardian, the children may still spend some time in foster care while the court finalizes arrangements.

Solutions

Get peace of mind

Having a detailed legal plan in place for minor children is crucial to ensure their well-being and future security.

It allows you to designate desired guardians who will care for them in your absence, manage their inheritance responsibly, love them, and ensure their needs are met according to your wishes.

By establishing a clear legal framework, you can provide peace of mind and avoid potential legal disputes, thus ensuring your children are protected and supported during your passing and into the future.
