Protect Your Kids
Many undocumented immigrants in the U.S. have been impacted by President Trump’s heightened immigration enforcement efforts. As a result, those with children, property, or businesses should have a plan in place to manage their affairs in case of deportation. Estate planning tools can help undocumented parents protect their assets and ensure their children’s well-being if they are forced to return to their home country.
If you are an undocumented immigrant facing the risk of deportation, it’s crucial to have a plan in place to protect your children. Here are six essential steps to ensure their well-being and security:
Establish a Legal Guardianship With An Attorney
Designate a trusted person to care for your children in your absence by setting up legal guardianship. This ensures they have a stable home and a responsible adult to make decisions for them if you are deported.
Create a Legal Power of Attorney
A power of attorney allows you to grant someone legal authority to make important decisions on your behalf, including handling financial matters and making medical and educational decisions for your children.
Prepare Emergency Contact Information
Ensure your children know who to contact if you are detained or deported. Provide a list of emergency contacts, including trusted family members, friends, and legal representatives. Keep this information easily accessible.
Secure Important Documents With An Attorney
Organize and safely store essential documents such as birth certificates, passports, medical records, and school records. Give copies to your designated guardian or attorney so they can access them when needed.
Save for Your Child’s Financial Security
Consider setting up a bank account or trust to ensure your children have financial support in case of your absence. You may also designate a financial power of attorney to manage funds on their behalf.
Discuss a Long-Term Plan with Your Children
Have an honest conversation with your children about the possibility of deportation. Reassure them that a plan is in place and help them understand what to expect, reducing fear and uncertainty.
Taking these steps can provide peace of mind, ensuring your children’s safety and stability even in the face of an uncertain future.
