Estate Planning for Young Families




Perez-Roura Law helps young families in Miami build estate plans that secure children’s futures, appoint guardians, and integrate wills, trusts, and disability planning at an early life stage.

Starting a family means more than preparing a nursery—it means preparing for your family’s future. Essential questions—like who will raise your children, manage their support, or make medical choices—shouldn’t be left unanswered. At Perez-Roura Law, we equip young parents with estate plans that address today’s needs and tomorrow’s uncertainties. By integrating wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and health directives, we help families in Miami set strong legal foundations that support both daily life and long-term security.

Guardianship Nomination and Trusts for Minors

Designating a guardian in your will ensures that someone you trust steps in if both parents are unable. But estate planning goes further—by establishing minor cover trusts, assets like savings, education funds, or insurance proceeds are managed on behalf of your children. Rather than giving raw inheritance at age 18, you decide when to distribute funds—age 21, 25, or graduation milestones. We work with you to draft trustee instructions, successor trustee roles, and spend-down guidelines, ensuring guardians and trustees fulfill roles aligned with your family’s values.

Durable Power of Attorney & Healthcare Surrogate

>Lead-in: “What happens if parents are incapacitated?”
Parents focus on everything from diaper changes to career goals—but incapacitation can happen unexpectedly. Durable powers of attorney allow a trusted person to handle financial tasks like bill paying or school tuition. Healthcare surrogate designations empower a loved one to make medical decisions in line with your values. Perez-Roura Law drafts these documents to safeguard your family’s interests even if you can’t advocate for them yourself.

Coordinating Life Insurance and Education Savings

Estate planning shouldn’t be considered in isolation. Assets like life insurance and college savings accounts are often overlooked in legal planning. We help young families align beneficiary designations, fund minor trusts, and assess the tax implications of policy proceeds. Whether you’re funding a 529 plan or providing for a special-needs child, we ensure legal structures and financial tools work together seamlessly.

Updating Your Plan as Family Grows

Life doesn’t stand still—your plan shouldn’t either. Adding children, relocating to new schools, building business interests, or divorce can all affect your legal documents. We walk through common scenarios—birth or adoption, blended families, and asset changes—and help you update documents promptly. With periodic reviews, you stay ahead of potential legal gaps and ensure your plan reflects how your family evolves.
