Estate Planning for Parents of Minor Children
As a parent, you want to know your children will be cared for no matter what. Nina can help address guardianship-related planning and other documents based on your family's needs, so your wishes are clear.
What parents often plan for

- How property your children inherit would be handled
- Who would make medical and financial decisions for you if you became unable to
Naming a guardian in your will
Your will can name the person you want to raise your children if you cannot. Without that choice in writing, a court decides.
When a child inherits money
Under Florida law, property inherited by a minor child from a parent, grandparent, or other relative may be subject to guardianship laws if appropriate planning was not done. A comprehensive estate plan can ensure that a child's needs are met through their minority and to help them transition into adulthood.
