Thoughtful Protection for Single Moms, Moms by Choice, and Same-Sex Couples
Your family may not look “traditional” — but your need for protection, clarity, and security is just as important.
If you are a single mom, a mom by choice, or part of a same-sex couple, estate planning is essential to ensure your children are protected, your wishes are honored, and your family is legally secure. Without proper planning, state laws — not you — could determine who makes decisions for your children or manages your assets.
Heather provides compassionate, personalized estate planning designed for modern families.
Why Specialized Planning Matters
Families built through choice, adoption, assisted reproduction, or same-sex partnerships often face unique legal considerations, including:
- Naming and legally securing guardians for minor children
- Protecting non-biological or non-adoptive parents
- Ensuring both partners have decision-making authority
- Coordinating beneficiary designations and shared assets
- Avoiding unintended outcomes under default state laws
Heather takes the time to understand your family structure and create a plan that reflects your values and protects your children.
