Nothing changes your priorities like becoming a parent - now someone depends on you completely.
Quick Tips
-
The most important decision you'll make? Choosing who would raise your children if you can't
- You're already protecting them every day - this just makes it official on paper
- You've got the parent thing down - nowlet'sget the legal protection locked in
- A will lets you say who should raise your kids if you can’t.
- Without a plan, the courts decide - not you.
Without a will, a judge you've never met decides your child's guardian - not your wishes or what's best for your baby.
Now is a great time to formalize your future wishes for your entire family by creating or updating wills, power of attorney forms, beneficiary information, life insurance policies, etc.
