Lafayette Estate Planning for Minor Children

Nothing matters more than your children’s future. At Oak Grove Estate Planning, we help Lafayette families create clear, legally sound plans to protect their children—no matter what life brings.

Start Safeguarding Their Future Today

Estate planning isn’t just about managing assets—it’s about making sure your children are safe, supported, and raised according to your wishes if something unexpected happens. Our Lafayette estate planning attorneys help parents develop thoughtful, detailed plans that go far beyond simply naming a guardian.

We’ll work with you to ensure every aspect of your child’s care—from education and healthcare to financial support and emotional well-being—is protected by a plan you can trust.

Choosing the Right Guardian With Confidence

If you’re not there to raise your child, you want someone who shares your values and is equipped to provide a stable, loving environment. Without a legally documented plan, the court—not you—will decide who steps in. That’s a risk no parent should take.

Our team will guide you through the process of choosing a guardian who reflects your parenting style and long-term vision. We'll also help you document your preferences, so your child’s upbringing—whether it involves religious beliefs, educational goals, or lifestyle choices—stays aligned with your wishes.

Securing Financial Support Through Trust-Based Planning

Even if you’ve built a strong financial foundation, your children may face delays or obstacles accessing resources if proper structures aren’t in place. A will alone may not be enough. That’s why many Lafayette families turn to us to establish trusts specifically designed to support their minor children.

With a trust, you decide:

Who manages the money
How funds should be used
When distributions can occur

Whether you want to provide for private school tuition, college costs, healthcare, or general living expenses, a trust ensures your assets are used exactly as intended—without risk of mismanagement or court interference.

Keeping Your Plan Current As Life Changes

Families grow, priorities shift, and relationships evolve. That’s why we don’t treat estate planning as a one-time event. At Oak Grove Estate Planning, we help Lafayette parents review and update their plans over time, making sure guardianship and financial arrangements remain aligned with your current life circumstances.

By keeping your plan up to date, you’re giving your children the strongest protection possible—today and for years to come.
