As a parent, one of your top priorities is ensuring the well-being and security of your children. While no one likes to think about the worst-case scenarios, it’s important to plan for the unexpected. Creating a will is an essential step in protecting your children’s future.

A will allows you to designate a legal guardian for your minor children in the event of your untimely death. Without a will, the decision of who will care for your children will be left up to a judge. This process can be lengthy and emotionally difficult for your children, as well as potentially lead to an undesirable outcome.

Additionally, a will allows you to specify how your assets will be distributed among your children. This ensures that your children receive their fair share of your estate and that any specific items or property are passed down according to your wishes.

It’s also important to regularly update your will as your circumstances change, such as a change in marital status, the birth of additional children, or a change in your financial situation.

While no one wants to consider the possibility of leaving their children behind, it’s crucial to plan for the unexpected. Creating a will is a necessary step in protecting your children’s future and ensuring their well-being. Consult with an attorney to create a will that reflects your wishes and provides the best possible outcome for your children. Contact  NORTHWEST STRATEGY & PLANNING, PLLC today.
