As a single parent, what is the best way to provide for my minor children’s inheritance?

The right approach depends on your family and your children’s needs. However, one of the most effective ways to plan is by using a trust.

A trust allows you to name someone you trust to manage money or property on your children’s behalf and provide guidance on how and when it should be used. Because minors cannot manage assets on their own, a trust helps ensure those resources are handled thoughtfully until they are ready.

Trusts can be created during your lifetime (a revocable trust) or through your will (a testamentary trust). A properly drafted and funded trust can be managed without court involvement and can be kept more private.

THE ATTORNEYS OF KWL
JACQUELINE RIOTTO-NICK, J.D. | ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY

Jacqueline has a wonderful way of making people feel they can simply be themselves.

Clients don't need to know all the answers or have everything figured out. Jacqueline meets them where they are—listening, asking thoughtful questions and making complicated things easier to understand.

She is incredibly skilled and serious about doing excellent work, with an approach that is always warm and personal. That combination is very KWL.

I’m a single parent of modest means—do I still need an estate plan?

Estate planning is not just about what happens to money or property. It is about making sure the right people are in place to care for your children and make decisions if you are unable to do so.

Without a plan, a court may need to appoint a guardian for your minor children and someone to manage financial or healthcare decisions on your behalf. This can happen if you are traveling, temporarily unable to make decisions, or facing a more serious situation.

By putting your wishes in writing, you can name the people you trust and provide guidance for both day-to-day decisions and long-term care. An estate plan helps ensure your children are supported and your decisions are carried out by the people you choose, not those the state assigns.
