The 9 Planning Mistakes Parents Make

ATTENTION PARENTS: Did you know that almost 75% of you don't have any estate planning in place?  Even more shocking is that for the 25% or so that do, you have likely made at least one of nine common mistakes that parents make when doing their estate planning.

As Portland's Estate Planning Attorney for Families, I see and hear the stories of planning mistakes all day long. Here are a few:

• The parents who didn't name guardians, and whose kids stayed in foster care for 18 months while the family fought over guardianship;
• The mother who didn't have a healthcare directive, and was kept braindead on life support for 13 years until her feeding tube was ultimately removed, after her family fought legal battles and spent thousands of dollars over whether she would have wanted to live or die;
• The mother who named her sister and brother-in-law as joint guardians, only to have the kids be awarded to the brother-in-law in the later divorce;
• The stay-at-home mom whose spouse died without any life insurance, leaving her with no way to support herself and her children and eventually having the family home go into foreclosure while she scrambled to find a job;
• The family who had to go through a lengthy and expensive court process to be able to manage the father's affairs when he became incapacitated;
• The stepparent who was really more like the biological parent who lost contact with her stepchildren when her spouse died;
• The mother who accidentally disinherited her own children;

...and so many more.
