Feakes Associates - Kids Protection Planning

Kids Protection Planning

If you are a family with young children, then your estate plan should begin with a foundation that ensures your children would always be taken care of, no matter what happens. At Feakes Associates, one of our areas of greatest expertise is protecting minor children.

Without proper planning, if the unthinkable happens to you, here’s what could happen:

* Your children could be placed into the care of the Department of Children and Family Services even if you have a will in place; even if you have a living trust.

* A Judge who doesn’t know you, or your family, will decide who will raise your kids, even if it’s the last person you would ever want;

* Approximately 5% of the total value of your assets could be lost due to probate, a court process that can tie up your assets for months or years and deprive your kids of the resources they need to live comfortably;

* When your kids turn 18, they get a check for whatever assets are left;

* There are unscrupulous people who make it their business to review public records to find out what 18 year olds are coming into money;

* The vast majority of estate planning attorneys do not address these issues, and do not plan from a parent’s perspective.

We have dedicated our life’s work to make sure these things don’t happen! That’s why we offer a Kids Protection Plan™ with every estate plan we do for families with young children.
