Kids Protection Plan
Did you know that 69% of parents have not yet named guardians for their kids? And of the 31% who have, most have made one of 6 common mistakes?
Having a Will Alone Simply Does Not Ensure The Care Of Your Kids If The Unthinkable Happens To You!
As a parent, there’s nothing more important than ensuring your children are protected, loved, and cared for if the unexpected happens. At Akinlabi Law, PLLC, we specialize in helping parents protect their kids, giving parents the tools and peace of mind to know their children will always be in trusted hands. Our Kids Protection Plan® is a unique offering designed to address gaps in traditional estate planning, ensuring your children are never placed in the care of strangers or anyone you wouldn’t trust, even temporarily.
- Your children could be placed into the care of strangers while the authorities figure out what to do (yes, even if you have a will in place and even if you have a living trust). It’s true that this would likely only be temporary, but trust us: you never want your children in the arms of strangers, not even for a minute.
- Your children could be put into the custody and care of someone you would never want, like that one family member who has good intentions but who you would never want raising your kids.
- A judge who doesn’t know you or your family will decide who will raise your kids, even if it is the last person you would ever want.
- Your family could get into a long drawn-out custody fight or there could be a challenge to the guardians you have designated.
- Your children could be placed into the care of strangers while the authorities figure out what to do (yes, even if you have a will in place and even if you have a living trust). It’s true that this would likely only be temporary, but trust us: you never want your children in the arms of strangers, not even for a minute.
- Up to 5% of the value of your assets could be lost to court costs and other unnecessary fees through the probate process, a court process that can tie up your assets for years and deprive your kids of the resources they need to live comfortably.
- When your kids turn age 18, they get a check for whatever assets are left, no matter how immature they might be or what financial lessons they have not had a chance to learn yet.
- Unscrupulous people out there find out when 18-year olds are getting that inheritance check by searching the public court records.
- Unfortunately, the vast majority of estate planning attorneys do not address these issues and do not plan from a parent’s perspective.
