The Protected Family Plan… For the Families Raising the Next Generation: Why Estate Planning Can’t Wait
When you’re raising children, life moves fast. You’re packing lunches, managing schedules, keeping up with activities, and trying your best to build a future that feels secure, stable, and full of possibility.
Estate planning isn’t something you do later in life. Estate planning is something you do because you have a life worth protecting right now.
Recent data shows that only 36% of parents with children under 18 have a will.
It’s one of the most startling and preventable gaps in family protection.
And yet, these are the families who need planning the most.
Because when you’re raising children, you’re not just managing today.
You’re safeguarding tomorrow.
Why Estate Planning Matters for Young Families
Estate planning for parents is not about wealth or age. It’s about responsibility, clarity, and love.
Here’s what it really covers:
✔ Choosing who will care for your children if the unexpected happens
This one decision alone provides a level of relief you can’t put a price on.
✔ Ensuring your assets are used and distributed according to your wishes
So your children remain financially and emotionally supported.
✔ Preventing unnecessary court involvement, delays, and confusion
Without a plan, your family loses control at the exact moment they need it most.
✔ Creating peace of mind that your children, spouse, or co-parent is protected
This is what estate planning is really about: security, clarity, and intention.
