“Being an estate attorney for the past 12 years, I’ve seen millions of dollars lost due to court challenges and lost documents. I highly recommend using a platform like Dynasty to notarize and store your documents safely.”
Domenic Scire – Estate Planning Attorney, San Jose, CA
“I converted my paper trust to Dynasty because it needed updating and I didn’t have time to go through it all again manually. Also didn’t feel like paying the fees. This was so much easier and was able to get it done while on my morning walk to work. Most seamless legal experience I have ever had.”
Richard Smith – Regional Field Director, New York, New York.
“I’ve been putting off creating a trust for years because of how painful and expensive the process is. I needed a trust because my startup stock doesn’t allow me to name a beneficiary. Pleasantly surprised by how fast and simple it is with Dynasty. Highly highly recommend.”
“Very surprised by how simple this was and how the process only took a few minutes to setup. The questions were broken down in plain English and made me realize everyone should start a trust as early as possible. The earlier you start the easier it is.”
“I did this the old way and was shocked by how hard and expensive it was. Dynasty removes all the paperwork and makes it effortless. Took me less than 5 minutes. One of the best new products I’ve used in a long time.”
James McGillicuddy – CEO & Cofounder at BRM, San Francisco, CA.
When parents create a guardianship assignment in case of their death, it is a proactive measure to ensure that their child will be cared for by someone they trust. This assignment is typically made through a will or a separate legal document, where the parents nominate a guardian for their child. The impact of this action is significant for several reasons:
Clarity and Certainty:
Establishing a guardianship assignment provides clear instructions regarding who will take care of the child if both parents pass away. This reduces the likelihood of disputes among family members or others who might seek custody of the child.
Court Consideration:
While the court has the final say in appointing a guardian, it generally honors the parents’ wishes as expressed in their legal documents unless there is a compelling reason not to do so (e.g., if the nominated guardian is deemed unfit). By documenting their choice, parents can influence the court’s decision.
Continuity of Care:
Having a designated guardian ensures that the child experiences minimal disruption in their life. The guardian will already be familiar with the parents’ values, desires for the child’s upbringing, and the child’s specific needs, leading to a smoother transition.
Avoidance of State Intervention:
Without a guardianship assignment, the court may appoint a guardian, which could involve state intervention or placing the child in foster care temporarily. By naming a guardian, parents help avoid this uncertainty.
Guardianship and adoption are both legal methods to provide for a child’s care, but they have some distinct differences. Adoption permanently changes the legal relationship between the child and the adoptive parents, essentially removing all rights and responsibilities from the biological parents. Once a child is adopted, the adoptive parents become the child’s legal parents in every sense. Guardianship, on the other hand, is often a temporary arrangement and does not sever the legal relationship between the child and their biological parents. Parents might still retain some rights or responsibilities, and the guardianship can be terminated if circumstances change.
The process to establish guardianship varies by jurisdiction, but generally, it requires filing a petition with the appropriate court, usually probate or family court. There may be a need for notices to be given to relevant parties (like the child’s parents or other close relatives), and a hearing will typically be scheduled. At the hearing, the court will assess the best interests of the child and determine if guardianship is appropriate. Factors considered might include the child’s needs, the relationship between the child and potential guardian, and the capability of the potential guardian.
Yes. If someone does not agree with the proposed guardianship, they can contest it in court. This might be a biological parent, another relative, or even the child (depending on their age and maturity). If contested, the court will carefully review all evidence and testimony presented to make a decision based on the child’s best interests.
If a guardian is unable to fulfill their duties due to reasons like illness, relocation, or a change in circumstances, they can petition the court to resign. The court may then appoint a successor guardian. It’s also possible for another interested party to file a petition with the court to have the guardian replaced if they believe the guardian is not acting in the child’s best interest. With GetDynasty, you can select multiple backup guardians to help the court decisions.
A Living Trust is a financial tool that lets you plan, organize, and protect your life. It’s a personal entity that allows you to add assets and plan out your inheritance. Eliminating legal battles, cost, and time spent by your loved ones.
Think of it like a personal LLC that you put everything you own in. Except it doesn’t protect you from liability like an LLC does, it protects you from probate and conservatorship.
Probate is the complicated court process (12-18 months) where a judge decides what happens to your assets after you die, become incapacitated, or are “deemed” incapable. Creating a living trust allows your assets to completely circumvent probate and immediately transfer to your loved ones.
In addition to being able to name heirs (your beneficiaries), a Trust also allows you to assign someone to manage it (your successor trustee). Instead of going through probate, your Successor Trustee takes control of the Trust, handles your affairs, and distributes your assets according to your instructions. The person you select as Successor Trustee should be your most trusted person. Like a best friend or closest family member.
At Dynasty, we believe everyone should have a Living Trust. If you have children, assets, or plan to acquire assets in the future, you should create a Trust. That way when you buy your next home, open a bank or brokerage account, get startup shares, etc. – you can immediately title them in your trust.
