One HUGE Financial Resolution You Likely Missed For 2015
It’s a new year, which means like most parents, you’ve probably made a handful of resolutions to improve your life or set your family on a better course in 2015.
Perhaps you’re shooting for less TV time for the kids… or maybe a family-wide goal to eat healthier snacks. In the area of finances, maybe you’ve resolved to get out of debt, take a fabulous vacation or use your money to benefit more charities making a difference in the local community or the world.
These are all great resolutions…but I can pretty much guarantee that there is still one important goal for 2015 that you missed…
…estate planning!
Did you know that setting your legal affairs in order is one of the most important things you can do to ensure your family, wishes and assets are protected if something unexpectedly happens to you and/or your spouse?
Now is the Time
I have written about this topic for years now because I feel passionate about sharing information on what parents need to do to make sure their kids would be taken care of if the worst were to happen to them.
It’s an awful thought, but better to get it done so you can move on with your life with peace of mind. If you haven’t already done this for your family yet, I hope now is the time.
Here is a guest post Darlynn Morgan from Morgan Law Group in Newport Beach wrote about this topic. Darlynn holds free workshops to educate parents on the steps to take to get your legal stuff in order, how to legally name guardians for your kids, etc.
There are two local OC workshops coming up at the end of the month to learn more. Details at the end of the post. Here is what Darlynn had to share about what she speaks on…

This is a topic I am very passionate about, as we didn’t go through the process of naming legal guardians and doing a trust until my oldest daughter was 3. When we finally did it and I was educated on what can happen to your children and assets if something were (God forbid) to happen to you, it scared the daylights out of me that we didn’t do it sooner. Once everything was in order, I had tremendous peace of mind knowing we got everything taken care of. I highly recommend attending this workshop and learning more…

The Busy Mom’s Guide for Getting Your Legal and Financial House in Order in 2012
by Darlynn Morgan of Morgan Law Group
You want the best for your kids, and as a mama you already know that you need to have some type of financial strategy to make this happen over the long-term.
After all, there’s college to plan for, family wealth to think about and choosing legal guardians who could raise your minor kids if something happens to you…..just in case.
For most parents, taking steps to get your legal and financial house in order can feel daunting. I hear from parents all the time who don’t know where to start, confused about who they should talk to and flat-out overwhelmed by all the decisions that need to be made.
I get it, and that’s why my goal this year is to help parents simplify the process of getting their “ducks in a row,” while also helping them make the very best decisions for their loved ones.
If you’re ready to start playing your financial A-game in 2012, here are my top three recommendations of where to start:
