What are Some Things Young Families Should Plan For?

Young families need to plan for both the good things in life that you hope will come, as well as for bad things in life which you hope will never occur. Some of the different things that families may wish to plan for include:

  • Saving for a family home
  • Saving for college for the kids
  • Saving for retirement
  • Growing wealth and leaving a legacy
  • Building and protecting a family business
  • Protecting assets in case of incapacity or in case nursing home care becomes necessary
  • Creating a plan to respond in case of a medical emergency which makes it impossible for a family member to communicate his or her wishes
  • Planning for the transfer of assets upon death
  • Providing for minor children in case one or both parents pass away unexpectedly
  • Creating a plan to reduce estate taxes

An Maryland elder law attorney provides comprehensive advice with these issues, as well as with many other issues that young families may need to address. The sooner you begin creating your plan and taking steps to protect your family, the more security you can enjoy and the more peace of mind you will have.

What are Some Legal Tools Young Families Can Use to Protect Themselves?

There are many different legal tools you can use to accomplish your goals, protect yourself, protect your assets, and protect your loved ones. Some of the different things your estate planning and elder law attorney may discuss with you include:

  • Using IRA and 529 accounts to save for college and retirement.
  • Creating trusts to protect assets, to facilitate the transfer of assets, to avoid estate taxes, and to protect heirs.
  • Using a power of attorney or a living trust to make a plan for asset management in case of incapacity,
  • Incorporating a family business to provide asset protection and to facilitate the transfer of the business to the next generation.
  • Creating advanced directives so decisions are made in case of a medical emergency, both on what kinds of care to provide and on who should act as healthcare proxy.
  • Naming a guardian for children and making provisions to ensure the financial resources are available to care for the children even if parents pass away.
  • Creating a last will and testament and otherwise developing a comprehensive estate plan so a legacy can pass to children.

These are just some of the many steps your young family may wish to take with the help of an experienced attorney. Your elder law lawyer will discuss your goals, your income and assets, your current family situation, and your plans for the future to help you determine the steps you should take.

Client Review
September 3, 2020
    

We initiated estate planning following a presentation by Sinclair Prosser Attorney Jon Gasior. We were so impressed, we contracted with them to complete our estate planning. Subsequently, we assembled information on our assets and Sinclair Prosser Gasior did the rest. Correspondence was communicated to our financial institutions and the estate was established. We were very pleased with the courteous manner of the Sinclair Prosser Gasior staff. However, it was their professionalism that made us satisfied we chose this firm to handle our estate. We have nothing but praise for Sinclair Prosser Gasior .
