When it comes to protecting your unmarried partner, there are several options to consider. Depending on the value of your money and property, your desired level of protection from your partner’s creditors, and other factors unique to your situation, one or more of these strategies may be beneficial. A word of caution: regardless of what methods you use, you must work with an experienced estate planning attorney. While do-it-yourself options may be cheaper, they can sometimes create more problems than they solve, and the problems can be expensive to remedy.

Let’s face it, whether it’s choice or circumstance, everyone who has a child is not always ready to be a parent. These situations will often arise because the parent is very young themselves. In other situations, the parent is serving in the military or has a job that has taken them far away from a support system. An altogether different scenario is because the parent is struggling with substance use issues or criminality.
Whatever the case may be, well-meaning grandparents and extended family members want to ensure the safety and well-being of their minor loved ones.
