How do I safeguard my child’s future?

Heading to university

If your child is heading to university this month, you’ll be thinking about their future.

The next steps of their journey may be mapped out. For some, the path ahead may be less settled and sure.

As parents, we feel mixed emotions when our children move to the next life stage.

We’re excited, nervous and proud. We hope for the best, but being older and wiser, we appreciate disappointment is always possible. We’re also anticipating the loss we will feel as they move forward into adulthood.

Leaving the family home, even temporarily, is a milestone that marks our children’s progress. We share their dreams and try our best to embrace the path they're carving for themselves.

As we celebrate their progress, it’s time a good time to look further ahead. Your Will ensures their future is as bright and secure as it can be.

More Than Just Paperwork

Think of your Will as a blueprint for your child's future, a way to provide guidance and support even when you're not physically there.

Here's why making a Will is a vital step in paving a smooth road for your son or daughter's journey:

1. Choosing Care

In the unexpected event that you're not around, a Will lets you appoint someone you trust to take care of your children and manage their finances. A decision about guardians and trustees in your Will ensures they'll have a stable and supportive environment during a potentially challenging time.

2. Financial Stability

Your Will outlines how your assets will be managed and distributed to support your teenager's education, dreams, and well-being. It's a safety net that helps them navigate the financial aspects of life.

3. Legacy Planning

Crafting a Will lets you ensure your assets are passed on according to your wishes. You can provide for your teenager's future while considering any potential tax implications.

4. Peace of Mind

By creating a clear and precise Will, you're eliminating confusion and potential conflicts. Knowing that your child's future is secure brings peace of mind, allowing you and your family to focus on the journey ahead.

Turning Love into Action

Just as your teenager's journey to university is about turning their dreams into reality, making a Will transforms your love and care into a practical plan. It's an investment in your child's future. See it as a testament to your commitment to their well-being.
