Planning for your own death is not something many people like to think about. But it’s super important, especially if you have young children. What will happen to them when you’re gone? Who will take care of them? How do you want them to be raised?
When one woman died suddenly, she left behind a 6-month-old baby. Her sister desperately wanted to adopt the little boy. But she wanted to raise him as her own, never telling him that his biological mother had died. Her brother blocked the adoption and applied to adopt the child himself. It’s caused massive family drama, and the brother is now wondering if he acted in the best interests of the baby. Bored Panda reached out to Cody Barbo to get some expert advice on protecting your children after your death. He’s the Founder and CEO of estate planning platform Trust & Will.
