Estate Planning decisions for Minor Children

One of Your most important responsibilities as a parent is to nominate permanent and long-term legal guardians for your children. This responsibility goes beyond naming godparents or trusting the grandparents to step in if necessary. It means consciously deciding who you would want to raise your children if you cannot. And then it means legally documenting your choices and ensuring the people you've chosen know what to do if the Court appoints them. You can and should note anyone you are confident would not be a legal guardian selected by you. We will help you document your minor children's short-term and long-term guardian designations. 

What Estate Planning Documents are created for Minors?

We create a set of caregiver instructions, a medical power of attorney, a short-term guardian nomination, a long-term guardian nomination, contact information for your child's current medical care providers, and set up a DocuBank account that can be accessed by emergency treatment providers using your child's own "Minors Matter Care Card."
