Estate Planning for Parents

When you are a parent of young children, it can be hard to set aside time to plan for their future. At California Trusts Online, we try to make estate planning convenient and affordable so that parents of young children can focus on their children’s daily needs and their long-term needs.

The two most pressing questions that parents face are

            1. Who will take care of my children if I cannot?

            2. Where will my money (and other assets) go if I die?

Guardians—What You Don't Expect When You're Expecting

As with most adventures in life, we rarely plan for the end while we’re at the beginning, but every parent (new or seasoned) has the responsibility to choose someone to care for their minor children if they are no longer able to do it themselves. In California, this person is called a Guardian, and the nomination of a Guardian is appropriately included in your Will.
