If you have minor children, a properly designed plan will include designating the appropriate people to raise your children and to manage their money. If you do not plan, and you can no longer raise your children due to a catastrophic accident, sudden death or disability, a court is going to make decisions about the upbringing of your children. You don’t want to leave important decisions about your children’s well-being to a court! At the Pasadena Law Group, we will work with you to help you decide the best people to raise your children if you can’t, and to create personalized instructions for the guardians of your children.
The tools and strategies we can put to work to accomplish these goals include:
- A variety of Trusts, such as Revocable Living Trusts, Irrevocable Trusts and Minors’ Trusts
- Wills
- Health Care Directives
- Financial Powers of Attorney
- Authorizations for Release of Protected Health Information
- Guardianship Nominations
At the Pasadena Legal Group, we will design a comprehensive estate plan that addresses your immediate concerns, your worries about long-term care, and your wishes for how your assets are distributed after you are gone. As Pasadena Estate Planning Lawyers, we are also dedicated to keeping your plan up-to-date, so that it works the way it is intended when your physical, financial or family situations change.
