As Spring Break and summer approach, you’re likely busy planning the perfect getaway with your children—flights, hotels, and exciting activities. But have you considered your children’s safety if something unexpected happens to you? While emergencies are rare, having proper protection in place allows you to relax and fully enjoy the trip.
Let’s explore why a Kids Protection PlanⓇ (“KPP”) is crucial before traveling and how it ensures your children are cared for, no matter what.
The Hidden Risks of Traveling Without Protection
It’s easy to focus on fun while planning a vacation. But if you’re incapacitated during your trip, your children could be placed with strangers or social services until authorities determine who has legal guardianship.
International travel complicates matters with varying laws on child custody. Without clear instructions, your children could endure unnecessary stress while authorities figure out their care. Even domestic travel can pose challenges, as local authorities may not recognize out-of-state guardianship.
Essential Protection for Your Children
A KPP, created as part of the Life & Legacy PlanningⓇ process, provides immediate legal documentation in case of an emergency. It includes temporary guardianship designations, emergency contacts, and medical information for your children.
With a KPP, your children will be cared for by trusted guardians. You’ll receive power of attorney for medical treatment and documentation preventing them from being taken into the care of strangers.
