Why Young Families Need an Estate Plan

If you have minor children, estate planning allows you to:

  • Name legal guardians for your children

  • Ensure assets are managed responsibly for minors

  • Avoid court involvement and unnecessary probate delays

  • Appoint trusted decision-makers if you become incapacitated

  • Provide clear instructions during emergencies

Without a plan in place, Arizona law, not you, decides who steps in and how assets are handled.

Estate Planning Tools for Young Families

  • We typically help young families put the following documents in place:

  • Last Will and Testament – including guardian designations

  • Revocable Living Trust – to manage assets for children

  • Powers of Attorney – financial and health care

  • Living Will & Health Care Directives

  • Beneficiary Coordination – ensuring accounts align with your plan

Every family is different. We take time to understand your goals, values, and family dynamics before drafting a plan.

Planning for the Future, Without the Fear

Many parents delay estate planning because it feels uncomfortable or overwhelming. Our role is to make the process approachable, educational, and empowering so you leave feeling confident, not anxious.
