Estate Planning For Minor Children

Protect your most valuable treasures with proper legal planning

Safeguard Your Young Family’s Future Today

Parents who are estate planning for minor children commonly face two critical choices. First, who will take care of my minor children if orphaned, and second, who will manage their inheritance?

As with your own personal, health care, and financial decisions, you want to select their guardians yourself rather than let a probate judge make the selection without your input.

Only proper legal and estate planning can ensure your family’s future. Merhab Robinson & Clarkson can help you address these difficult questions and will prepare custom plans based on your needs, including legal plans for compensation of the guardians and a financial fiduciary to administer and distribute any inheritance.

Extremely Responsive to All My Questions

“I am a trust client of Paula and I cannot say enough positive things about her/their knowledge of trusts and estate planning. She has always been extremely responsive to my questions and concerns and educates me in the process. I have referred my son and a close friend to her, and they are also very pleased. I was referred to her by a friend in family law, and I remain impressed.”

– Anne B., Client

Ms. Robinson is an Excellent Attorney

“Ms. Robinson is an excellent attorney. She and her firm have represented our company as corporate counsel for over 30 years. I have worked with Marla for over 20 years, and she is extremely knowledgeable, articulate, responsive, helpful – the list goes on. She can form a corporation or LLC, write or revise a contract within minutes, and she’s a highly effective negotiator. She and her colleagues have seen us through countless corporate ventures, contract negotiations, employee matters, and more.”

– Aimee M., Client

Timely, Professional, and Reasonable

“Ms. Clarkson inherited me when my attorney left his practice to serve as a judge, so I was a bit apprehensive using this firm initially. But after my first visit, and every time since over the last few years, Ms. Clarkson and her staff have done everything I needed in a very timely, professional, and reasonable manner. I highly recommend this firm for your Estate planning.”

– T. Gibson, Client
