Family is important. We have dedicated a big part of our business to supporting families in all phases of life. From Kids Protection Plans to disability and long term support advocacy. The one thing we know that always makes things easier, is the value of creating a plan.
Remember When..
Think about it like this. You are a parent, when you had your first child you went through a process. You discovered you were pregnant and probably saw a doctor. Then you started to get information about your child’s development. After a couple months you realized there was going to be a whole process you needed to have a plan figured out for the actual child birth event.
Building a Plan
Were you going to give birth to your child at home, in a tub, or in a hospital? Did you want a midwife, doctor, or someone else to deliver your child? Did you plan to go to parenting and birth classes? You probably spent a great deal of time thinking about all these things and more! And this was for the birth of your child. No doubt you had a small bit of anxiety about what happened next..
Childcare, work-life balance, school, doctors appointments, sports, sick kids, changing, immunizations. All decisions that were going to be made and that you were going to be responsible for. But what if you weren’t. What if you couldn’t make those decisions because of a worst case scenario? Who would? How would you make sure your vision and your wishes were implemented for family?
This is where and why Estate Planning, Incapacity Planning, & Kids Protection Planning exists. And this is also why we do what we do.
Without a Plan
In the worst case of the worst case. A death or incapacity, a plan does sort of already exist. However, that plan has been put in place by the state. A judge who doesn’t know you or your wishes will be forced to make decisions for your children..without your input.
What are your desires for your children in the event of your death or incapacity? Who do you want to take care of your children? Who is going to manage your assets?
Create a Plan and Keep your Family Protected
Again, remember that plan you laid out before the birth of your children? Remember how many contingencies it accounted for? You did this because even though you hadn’t met them yet, your children and their futures mattered dearly to you. You recognized that the more you planned ahead, the less likely the worst case scenario would occur.
A Kids Protection Plan is a plan you should create now for those children for that very same reason.
