Applied Family Estate Planning Across Children's Stages and Family Changes

Applied family estate planning evolves across children's stages, family changes, and the long arc. This applied course teaches integrated reasoning through case-based modules. By the end of this course you will be able to adapt planning across children's stages, navigate family changes, coordinate with broader financial planning, and sustain the plan across decades. What you will learn: - Approaches to planning across children's stages from infancy through young adulthood - Approaches to family changes including new children, divorce, and remarriage - Approaches to children with special needs - Approaches to coordinating with broader financial planning - Approaches to handling specific situations including blended families - Approaches to long-term review including periodic updates - Approaches to communicating evolving plans within the family The course is structured around six applied modules. Each produces a written artifact: a children's stages plan, a family changes framework, a special needs reflection, an integration plan, a specific situations response, and a long-term reflection. This course is written for families thinking across the long arc. The course is informational and does not substitute for licensed legal or financial advice. By the end you will have moved from postponement to a sustained practice.
