Are Your Kids Protected If the Unthinkable Happens to You?

Join Lisa Moren Bromma as she interviews Nancy Chillag, an attorney and founder of Chillag & Associates, a law firm located in Menlo Park, California.  In addition to being an attorney, Nancy is also a Certified Public Accountant, a Real Estate Broker and an avid real estate investor.

Nancy’s practice focuses on protecting the family, business and real estate of her clients through strategic estate and business planning.  What she often finds is that people are always investigating how to protect their assets, but fail to take the steps necessary to protect their children.  If you are a family with young children, your estate plan must begin with a foundation that ensures your children are taken care of, no matter what happens.

Most parents with minor children have failed to even do the basic – name a guardian for their children.  They are leaving that very, very important decision up to the courts.  They are potentially subjecting their children to a long, heart-wrenching custody battleat a time when they will need calm and certainty.  And if that’s not bad enough, they are possibly subjecting them to child protective services or foster care until the courts can sort things out. 

And, by the way, do you want you kids owning your assets when they are 18?  How about having half your assets go to your kid’s divorcing spouse?  In this interview, Nancy will discuss how to protect your kids and the legacy that you are building for them.  To learn more about Nancy, visit her website at www.chillag.com.
