Many young parents assume that because they may not have a wealth of assets, estate planning is not yet valuable for them. This is a misconception. Consider a situation where young parents pass away before their children turn 18. Their kids cannot directly take control of any inheritance left to them, leaving the court to appoint someone to manage the assets left to the children.



Attorney Stacy DeShon recently worked with a young family to create an estate plan that not only designated a trusted person to manage assets on behalf of the children, but also provided instructions for how the Trustee may use funds to help care for the children as they grow. The clients were extremely grateful that they could retain control over how their assets would be used to help their minor children should the parents pass away.

Attorney Stacy Deshon recently worked with a couple planning their upcoming wedding. As this would be a second marriage for both, they were concerned about how their estate plans would impact their blended family. Typically, couples in this situation want to provide for their new spouse while continuing to support their children from a previous marriage. Navigating the complexities of these blended relationships and planning for life events, such as the death of a spouse, raise a variety of financial and emotional considerations. The key to minimizing stress on family members and heirs in this situation is to develop a comprehensive estate plan that makes it possible to both honor the spouse and provide an inheritance that is protected for the children. Stacy was able to help this couple start their marriage off right by constructing an estate plan that will ensure a successful transition of assets for all members of their new family.

A few weeks ago, Attorney Stacy DeShon met with a couple who wished to plan for the passing of their family vacation home to their children and grandchildren. The property is a family cottage that the couple’s great-grandfather built, and it had been passed down through the family. The couple wanted their adult children, who do not live nearby, to be involved in the planning. Through our convenient, virtual process, the couple’s entire family participated in finding a planning solution for the cottage. Stacy was able to set up asset protection planning for the family cottage for future generations and put in place additional estate planning documents to safeguard the family's assets for their children.
