California
Guardianship: The most important decision you will make as a
parent of a minor child is to name the right guardian for him or
her in your absence. In fact, selecting the right guardian or the
wrong guardian can forever change the course of your child's
life. Family protection can be easy if you follow our recommended
course of action.
Who
is best suited to act as a guardian can be determined by
developing a list of potential guardians, matching them to your
list of values, obtaining permission from the guardians to act,
and implementing a nomination. An anti-nomination clause can be
used to prevent appointment of people you absolutely would not
want as guardians of your child. We have automated that process
for you to make sure your children will never be at the mercy of
the courts in selecting someone other than the person(s) you
would select.

The
affairs of Minors and their assets are managed in guardianships.
Guardianship matters usually involve one of several situations:
When a parent is deceased and a minor is in need of an alternate
person who can make decisions on his or her behalf; When there is
no parent who can make decisions for a minor. When minors are
disabled and receive litigation proceeds or inherit,
guardianships are created to assist in managing the assets of the
minor. California Probate Code requires that assets of the minor
be placed in blocked accounts, or a bond be issued for the
guardian.
Guardians
can be categorized in two general categories:
Guardian
of Estate: This a person who manages the assets or money of a
minor.
Guardian
of Person: This is a person with whom the minor will live if
the parents are deceased.

Making
sure your life insurance policy is effective and up-to-date is an
important part of estate planning. If you have minor children or
a disabled spouse or child, it is important to keep the insurance
in place to pay for any needs of that beneficiary. However, a
minor or disabled person should never be named as a beneficiary
of a life insurance policy. An adult beneficiary as a trustee,
guardian or custodian for the minor or a trust should be named as
the beneficiary of a policy for the benefit of a minor. A special
needs trust should be created to receive life insurance proceeds
on behalf of a disabled individual. Keeping an adequate amount of
life insurance is another important part of estate planning. As
there are many different types of life insurance, each type has a
different purpose. Ask us to guide you as to the amount needed as
we examine your estate plan and your debt.
One of
the most significant tools in wealth planning and preservation
for your family is life insurance and life insurance trusts.
Ignoring this very valuable tool can be very costly to your
family . So much can be accomplished while you are healthy and
the window of planning in this area gets smaller as you age.
Life Insurance
Beneficiary Litigation:
Disputes among beneficiaries of
life insurance policies are fairly common. More common types of
disputes in this area involve whether a beneficiary designation
was made against California law. The most common type of dispute
in this area is a dispute involving a second spouse and children
from a first marriage. Additionally, often there are issues of
whether the policy owner had the right to modify a beneficiary
designation for lack of capacity or lack of authority. We can
help you litigate, settle and collect insurance policies. Don't
wait until the life insurance company acts to interplead the
funds, call us to determine if you may have a cause of action
which needs to be handled.
