If you have children, you need an estate plan in place to ensure they have the right guardian and the right financial support if something happens to you and you cannot raise them to adulthood. You do not want the court deciding who should raise your kids if you can’t, and you also do not want your kids to be in the middle of a battle over custody if something happens to you. Making an advanced plan allows you to avoid that, select the best person to raise your kids, and make a plan to provide for them financially even if you can’t be there to raise them.

You can also make an incapacity plan to ensure that your assets are managed carefully and your decisions are made by a trusted person in case you cannot act on your own.
