It’s not often that stories are written about the exciting world of estate planning.
Tonight’s episode of the television show “Blackish” revolves around the parents’ realization that they haven’t, but should, name guardians for their children in case of their own deaths. The kids are now pre-teens and tweens, so the parents decide they need to get moving on this. Good for them!
But then it devolves into arguments over whose family would make the better caretakers, and whose family shouldn’t even be allowed near the kids, and we see some of the stress that leads parents to put this off until the need for it disappears. Fortunately, there are ways around this. Watch this short youtube video I made a couple of years ago for ideas on what to do when you don’t know what to do.
If you need to do this important planning, give my office a call to set up an appointment to get it done.
And if you decide to pretend like you are immortal, you can listen to this song I found on Youtube while looking for my guardianship video.
