Summer is here, and many families are looking forward to going on their summer vacations. However, amidst the excitement and preparations, one crucial aspect often gets overlooked: legal planning for the unexpected. Accidents, illnesses, or unforeseen events don’t take a break just because you are on vacation. Without essential legal documents like a will, power of attorney, and healthcare proxy, your family could face significant legal hurdles when stability is most needed. Here are three common estate planning mistakes to make sure you have prepared before you leave for your summer vacation: 1. Financial Disarray: Without a power of attorney, no one may be legally recognized to manage your finances if you become incapacitated. 2. Medical Decisions: A healthcare proxy is crucial if you’re unable to make medical decisions for yourself. 3. Guardianship Concerns: For families with minor children, not designating a guardian in your will means the courts will decide who cares for your children if both parents are severely injured or pass away unexpectedly.

With the summer holidays now underway for most children, the key question for parents is how do we keep our children entertained for 6 weeks! Separated parents on the other hand have a lot more to think about and here are some practical tips to make it easier: 1. If there is an agreement or Court Order, make sure you know what the agreement is for summer holidays to avoid any dispute. Sometimes parents may need to allow for some flexibility if, for example, they are unable to get time off during the weeks the children are with them. If so, agree this in advance where possible. 2. If travelling either in the UK or abroad, provide the other party with emergency contact details, flight/train details and the address of where you are staying. 3. If travelling abroad, double check the requirements for the country you are travelling to as some places require additional documentation if one parent is travelling with the children. And if in doubt about any arrangements, seek advice from a family solicitor. #summerholidays #familylaw #children

Did you know that everyone has a plan? Even if you haven't hired an attorney to draft documents, you still have a plan. It's just that your plan is being left to state law and the court system to decide what happens to your assets, who gets guardianship over your children, and who makes decisions if you're incapacitated. Do you want the government to make these choices for you? Or do you want to have a say in it? If you want to have a say in what happens to your assets and your loved ones after you're gone, then you need to create a life plan. A life plan consists of a set of documents that outlines your wishes for your assets, your care, and your family. DM us to learn more!
