How to Secure Your Children’s Future in 2025
Feb. 3, 2025
Ready to start (or refresh) your estate planning, these simple steps will help you protect your family and give you peace of mind this year.
Choose a Guardian for Your Children: Naming a guardian ensures your kids will be raised by someone who shares your values and parenting style. Be sure to have open discussions with the person you choose.
Create a Trust for Your Child’s Needs: Trusts may sound intimidating, but they’re incredibly useful tools for protecting assets. They can ensure money is used specifically for your child’s education, daily needs, or even milestones like a first car or college tuition.
Write a Will: Even a basic will can go a long way in outlining your wishes. It determines everything from who manages your child’s inheritance to what happens to personal belongings or real estate.
Review and Update Regularly: Estate planning isn’t a “set it and forget it” activity. Revisit your plans whenever big life changes happen—like a new child, marriage, or changes to finances.
Get Professional Help: Navigating estate planning on your own can feel overwhelming. Work with an experienced attorney who understands your unique needs and guides you through every step, ensuring nothing is missed.
