Plan for the Unexpected: Protect Your Children with Love and Intention

Responsible Parents Prepare for What They Can’t Predict

As a parent, you would do anything to protect your children. But have you thought about what would happen to them if the unthinkable occurred?

Here’s a startling truth:

• 69% of parents have not legally named guardians for their children.
• Of the 31% who have, many have made one of six critical mistakes that could leave their kids vulnerable.

If you have minor children at home (or children with special needs), it’s time to ensure their care and security are legally protected. Because if you don’t choose, a court will.

What’s at Risk?

If you and your partner haven’t named guardians—or haven’t updated your plan—then the decision about who would raise your children if something happened to you will be left to a judge.

• A judge who doesn’t know your family.
• A judge who doesn’t understand your values.
• A judge who will make this life-altering decision based solely on legal statutes, not your wishes.

We know that’s not what you want. And while no plan may ever feel “perfect,” there’s always a better solution than leaving your children’s future in the hands of strangers.
