ESTATE PLANNING FOR NEW FAMILIES IN KANSAS CITY
Just Had A Baby? Here’s The One Plan Every Family Needs
Becoming a parent changes everything, including what is at stake if something happens to you. It is not a fun thing to think about, so most new parents put it off. But getting a simple plan in place is one of the most loving things you can do for your child, and it takes less time and money than you would guess.
What every new parent needs
Name a guardian. This is a big one Your will names who would raise your child if you and your partner could not Without it, a judge decides, based on a formula, not on what you would have wanted. Nothing matters more for a parent.
Put a will in place. So your home, savings, and belongings go where you intend, and your child is provided for.
Set up powers of attorney and a healthcare directive. So someone you trust can make medical and financial decisions if you are hurt or ill and cannot speak for yourself.
Check your beneficiaries. Life insurance and retirement accounts can pass by beneficiary form, not by your will, and naming a young child directly can create court problems. We help you route it the right way, often through a trust.
