If you’re a single parent, having a will isn’t just smart—it’s essential. Without one, the court decides who raises your kids and manages your estate, and that decision might not reflect your wishes. In this post, I break down why estate planning matters NOW—not someday—and how a will and trust can protect the people who matter most.

You don’t need to be older, wealthy, or a parent to need a will or power of attorney. If you’re an adult, especially in your 20s or 30s, having basic estate planning documents in place is one of the most empowering and protective things you can do. It’s not morbid, it’s responsible. And it’s not just about death. It’s about making sure you and the people you care about are taken care of if life throws you a curveball.
