🛑 October is Estate Planning Awareness Month! 🛑 If you have young children, it's crucial to plan for their future. Without proper legal documents, your children could face unnecessary court battles and financial challenges in the event of your passing. 💡 Did you know? Minors can't manage their own assets until they're 18, which means a court would take over – making private details part of the public record and leaving your children vulnerable. When your child turns 18, they would suddenly get full control of the funds, potentially leading to bad decisions and poor work habits. ✅ Protect your children with a comprehensive plan: Designate a trusted guardian in your will and through a standby guardianship document. Ensure your kids are cared for if you pass away or become incapacitated Avoid public family disputes and court delays. Planning now can help your kids avoid a messy process later. Don't wait until it's too late! Book an Initial Call: https://lnkd.in/e2cSsQKi
