At a minimum, consider having a will with a named guardian, a durable power of attorney, a healthcare power of attorney, and a living will in place before your child arrives. Without a will that designates a guardian if you pass away, a court will make that determination. You may also want to consider whether a revocable living trust is appropriate for your situation to help manage assets during incapacity and streamline the transfer of assets after death. Consulting an estate planning attorney can help ensure your documents are legally sound and reflect your wishes.
