Planning for Families

All families are busy. Families with young children are particularly busy. We recognize this in our practice. To accommodate this, we provide flexible times for appointments (within reason) and try to be very efficient with this time.

In addition to assisting families with planning for wealth transfer in protected ways, we spend considerable time with parents discussing choices for guardians of minor children and always include an Emergency Guardianship Appointment, which can be used if necessary when mom and dad are away or unavailable (but still alive).

We also offer parents the ability to leave a detailed letter of instructions to the Guardians and Trustees they have appointed for their minor children. Remember the first time you left your children with a baby-sitter? Remember the note you left behind? When planning to (perhaps) leave the same people behind – but for much longer - doesn’t it make sense to leave a very detailed set of instructions?

Finally, we encourage all parents to consider doing a ‘Priceless Conversation’ that can memorialize some of their life’s lessons and will be cherished for generations to come.
