Estate Planning for Unmarried Individuals with Children

This trust is specifically designed for unmarried individuals who want to pass their estate to their children. Whether you're never married, divorced, or widowed, you maintain complete control over your assets during your lifetime while ensuring they pass directly to your children without probate court after your death.

Your children are the default beneficiaries, with flexible options for equal distribution or customized amounts for each child. The trust includes special provisions to protect and manage assets for minor children until they reach adulthood.

This Trust is Ideal For:

  • Unmarried parents with one or more children
  • Divorced individuals planning inheritance for their children
  • Widows and widowers passing estates to children
  • Single parents with minor children needing protection
  • Those wanting equal distribution among all children
  • Parents with children who have different needs or circumstances

How It Works

You Create and Control: You establish the trust, transfer your assets into it, and serve as both grantor and trustee—maintaining complete control during your lifetime.

Choose Distribution Method: Your estate passes to your children either equally among all children, or with specific amounts/properties designated for each child based on their individual circumstances.

Protection for Minor Children: If any children are under 18, the trust holds their inheritance in a separate trust managed by your successor trustee until they reach adulthood.

Designate Successor Trustee: Name someone you trust to manage and distribute your trust assets to your children after your death or if you become incapacitated.

Seamless Transition: When you pass, your successor trustee distributes assets to your children according to your instructions without court involvement.
