The Morris Law Firm’s estate planning practice focuses on families with young children. Preparing for the care of minor children implicates many issues that most young parents don’t always consider:
- Who will care for my children if me and my spouse were both to die?
- Can my young children inherit from my estate or retain the proceeds from my life insurance policy? (Answer: If they are not 18 yet, they cannot.)
- If they cannot inherit from my estate, who will? And how can I ensure that the money goes to the benefit of my children?
- Do I want my children to be eligible to receive any inheritance at the age of 18? Or when they are older?
These are just a few of the questions that you must consider, and that you want to have answered by you and your spouse. Too many young parents don’t prepare, or wrongly think they are prepared, only to have these questions answered by their relatives after they die — or, worse, by a judge. Don’t be one of those people. Contact The Morris Law Firm. We’ll do a will, make sure your children are taken care of, and then we’ll both hope that it is not necessary for a long long time.
In addition to our estate planning practice, the Morris Law Firm is also available to administer the estate of a deceased loved one, defend against any challenge to a will, or initiate any legal action necessary to ensure your loved one’s true wishes are carried out properly.
