Children and Beneficiary If you are married, you will leave your estate to your spouse. If you do not intend to leave everything to your spouse first and then your children, we recommend that you contact our office for more comprehensive planning. If your spouse predeceases you, your children will receive your estate as outlined on this page. Please select the age that your child or children will have full access and control of their inheritance. If a child is under the age of 18, their inheritance will go into a trust to be managed by an adult.

Children When answering these questions, please answer the questions based on all your children including any stepchildren. If any of your children are under the age of 18, we will be setting up a trust for your child or children, you will be able to appoint a trustee to manage your child’s inheritance. Your trustee will be responsible for investing, handling, and providing distributions to your child as they see fit. Once your child reaches an age that you predetermine, your child will then have full access to their inheritance.

Guardian Information In your Last Will and Testament, it is important to designate a Guardian for your minor child or children. A Guardian is a person who is responsible for the day to day needs of a minor child and who steps into the role of being the parent if you are no longer living or unable to care for your child. As a word of caution, the surviving biological parent is typically favored by the courts to be named as guardian. If you choose to name someone other than the surviving biological parent as the first guardian, the legal system may still grant custody to the surviving biological parent unless the surviving biological parent has been legally deemed unfit to serve as parent/guardian.
Children's Trustee Information You have decided to create a trust for your child. This tool assumes you or your spouse, if applicable, will be the primary trustees. If you would like to change this trustee arrangement, we recommend that you contact our office for more comprehensive planning. Please enter your successor trustee information on this page. A Trustee is the person who manages the assets held in trust for your child or children. Therefore, consider naming someone who you believe is good with finances. This trust will be in effect for your child immediately upon signing and can be used to hold funds for their benefit during your lifetime. You can name a successor trustee should you and your spouse, if applicable, be unable to serve.
Special Needs Trust Beneficiary Information You have indicated that one or more of your children have a disability and you will be setting up a special needs trust for their benefit. The primary purpose of a special needs trust is to supplement but not replace the benefits an individual with disabilities receives through a government program. Special needs trusts protect the assets of a mentally or physically disabled person while allowing that person to keep his or her public benefits such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid. There are two types of special needs trusts – a first-party and third-party. The trust this tool creates is a third-party Special Needs Trust since it will be funded by you for the benefit of your child. It is important that you do not use assets that already belong to your child to fund this trust as it is a third-party special needs trust. On this screen, please select what you would like to happen to the remaining trust assets up the death of your child with special needs. The assets can go the beneficiary’s siblings, which would be your other children, distributed to the beneficiary’s children, which would be your grandchildren by that child, or paid back to you.
