For the children

A plan built around the people you're raising.

From the toddler in the car seat to the freshman moving into a dorm — every child in your life needs a different set of protections. We build them, we fund them, and we keep them current as your family grows.

Why this matters

Your children's plan is the plan.

Every other document — the will, the trust, the beneficiary form — answers to the same question: what happens to the people you're raising. Guardianship, a children's trust, and the right distribution rules are what turn an estate plan into an actual plan for your family. Without them, a probate judge decides who raises your kids and a UTMA account hands your teenager six figures on their eighteenth birthday.

How we build it

One plan, staged for every age.

We start with the guardianship nomination — the fastest, cheapest document with the highest stakes. Then we design the children's trust: who serves as trustee, how funds are used, and when your children receive them. If special needs are in the picture, we draft a third-party SNT and align every beneficiary designation so nothing accidentally lands in the wrong hands. And when a child approaches eighteen, we bolt on the college-age document package so the doors that federal law closes at 18 stay open to you.
