A Living Trust Plan for Children uses three separate trusts to manage your property:  1) one trust is used to direct distribution of maritial property for both spouses; and 2) a separate revocable trust for each spouse is used to manage assets for their respective children until they reach an age specified by each parent.  

This arrangement allows the parents to "fine tune" their estate plan to protect themselves and their respective children regardless of future events.  It also allows the parents to direct assets owned each of them prior to their marriage to their own children.

These documents are included with a Living Trust Plan for Children:

• Revocable living trust for both spouses 
• Separate revocable trust for the children of each spouse
• Certificate of trust for each trust
• Authorization to disclose medical information
• Warranty deed to fund trust
• Assignment of personal property to trust
• Agreement to transfer business assets to trust

• Pour-over will 
• Power of attorney
• Healthcare directive
• Appointment of guardian
• Appointment of funeral representative
• Estate planning roadmap

A separate trust for the children of each spouse has several benefits over any other method:

• Provides a low-cost method to separately manage property for the children of each spouse
• Simplifies designation of beneficiaries for life insurance and retirement accounts
• Simplifies management of property for the children by a trustee
• Allows each parent to designate a separate trustee just for their children
• Prevents disputes among stepchildren
