Protect Your Children with a Real Legal Plan

As a father and a lawyer, I believe there’s no greater responsibility than making sure your children are cared for if something ever happens to you.

Unfortunately, I’ve seen far too many cases where parents never legally named guardians—or thought naming someone in a will was enough. The result? Children ended up in the wrong hands, or worse, in the hands of the court.

At Phoenix Law, I help parents create clear, legally binding plans that ensure their kids are protected—no matter what.

...

Why You Need More Than a Will

Naming a guardian in your will is a great start—but it’s not enough if something happens while your children are still young.
Here’s why:
...
  • Wills don’t apply until death
  • If you’re in an accident and survive but can’t communicate, your children may still be at risk.

  • Wills don’t prevent short-term custody issues
  • If police show up and no clear legal guardian is present, your children could be placed with strangers or in state care temporarily.

  • Wills don’t include emergency instructions
  • Babysitters, teachers, and temporary caregivers often don’t know what to do in a crisis without clear, legal instructions.

Our Kids Protection Plan Covers Every Scenario

When you work with me, we create a comprehensive plan that includes:
Long-term guardianship appointments

Legal documents that name who should raise your children if you can’t.

Short-term emergency guardians

People who can step in immediately and legally care for your children until long-term guardians arrive.

Instructions for caregivers

Simple documents you can leave with babysitters, schools, or nannies outlining who to call and what to do.

ID cards for your wallet

Alert first responders that you have minor children and direct them to your emergency guardian plan.

Confidential exclusions

You can name people you do not want to raise your kids—privately and legally.

Peace of Mind for You. Safety for Them.

This isn’t just paperwork. It’s about ensuring your children are never caught in legal limbo.

With our Kids Protection Planning process, you can breathe easier knowing:

  • You’ve chosen the right people—not the court—to care for your kids
  • There’s a plan in place for both the short-term and long-term
  • Your children will be raised by someone who shares your values and parenting style
  • Your wishes are known, clear, and legally protected
...

Don’t Leave It to Chance

Even if you’ve already named guardians somewhere, I encourage you to review your choices with me. We’ll make sure everything is up to date, enforceable, and actually works in an emergency.

Because when it comes to your children, “good enough” isn’t good enough.
