Most people think of estate planning as something of interest only to senior citizens.
While the vast majority of our clients are indeed seniors, in reality estate planning is something that everyone should think about. In a will, you can specify whom you want to be your children's guardian should you both die. While the court has the final say, your wishes will be honored, unless there are compelling reasons not to do so. It is possible that there will be a fight over custody, either by the in-laws, brothers and sisters, or other family members. Nothing can be more unfortunate and tragic for your children than to have their parents die, and then to be fought over, as if they were pieces of property.
