Colorado Parents: Don’t Wait—Protect Your Family and Your Future

Between carpools, work calls, and school drop-offs, it’s easy to put estate planning on the back burner. But for millennial (millenial) and Gen Z parents in Colorado, the most important decisions aren’t about investments—they’re about who raises your kids and who can step in if you can’t.

At Biazzo Law, we help young families across Colorado—including Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, El Paso, Jefferson, Larimer, Mesa, Pueblo, and Weld Counties—create thoughtful, affordable estate plans designed for real life.

Our entire process is fully remote, making it easy for busy parents anywhere in Colorado to get a comprehensive plan—from consultation to notarization—without leaving home.

Guardianship for Minor Children (Colorado): The Cornerstone of Your Estate Plan

What it is: A guardianship provision allows you to legally name who will care for your children if you’re incapacitated or pass away.

Why it matters for Colorado parents:

You—not a judge—choose who raises your children.

You can name primary and backup guardians for flexibility and stability.

You can separate caregiving and financial roles, naming a guardian for parenting and a trustee to manage funds.

Your guardianship choices ensure that your children’s future is in trusted hands, no matter what.

Why Colorado Families Should Consider a Revocable Living Trust

A revocable living trust is one of the most powerful and flexible tools for parents in Colorado:

Avoids probate—saving your family time, cost, and stress.

Keeps your plan private (unlike wills, which become public record).

Plans for incapacity—your successor trustee can step in to manage finances without a court process.

Protects minors: Funds can be used for health, education, activities, and milestones—with timing and controls you choose.

Easily updated as your life changes—new baby, new home, or new job.

Essential Colorado Estate Planning Documents Every Parent Needs

Durable Power of Attorney (Colorado):Gives a trusted person authority to manage your financial, legal, and property matters if you can’t—paying bills, managing childcare costs, filing taxes, and handling real estate. Without it, your family could face court-appointed conservatorship just to access accounts.

Medical Durable Power of Attorney (Colorado):Names who can make healthcare decisions if you’re unable to communicate. We also include HIPAA authorization for access to medical records and a Colorado Living Will to document end-of-life preferences.

Why it’s important: These documents prevent unnecessary court intervention and keep your family in control during difficult times.

“We Don’t Have Much Yet—Should We Wait?” Absolutely Not.

Many young Colorado families think estate planning is only for the wealthy—but it’s really about instructions and protection.

Here’s what you’re securing:

Guardianship: Naming who will care for your kids if something happens.

Life insurance and retirement accounts: Coordinating them to flow into your trust for your children’s benefit.

Digital assets & benefits: Protecting online accounts, crypto, and work benefits.

Your values: Documenting parenting wishes, routines, and priorities.

Estate planning isn’t about money—it’s about love and peace of mind.

“Can we name different people for our kids and our finances?”Definitely—many parents name a guardian for child-rearing and a trustee for managing funds.

“How often should we update our plan?”Whenever life changes—marriage, a new baby, moving, or buying a home. Your revocable trust and other documents can easily be updated.
