Top 3 Reasons Every Family Should Create an Estate Plan:

1. Appoint guardians to care for your children
2. Establish a plan to manage the possessions that you’ll entrust to them
3. Designate who will make financial and healthcare decisions if you’re unable to do so

I am excited to introduce you to the Law Offices of Buchholz & Ferrera, whose estate planning services address these concerns! Estate planning for the young couple is just as important as estate planning for the retiree. Some of you may be asking, “How am I supposed to plan for my estate when I don’t have any estate to plan?”. Well, estate planning is about much more than giving away millions of dollars. Young families without substantial assets can still find peace of mind with some relatively simple planning.

Local Moms Helping You and Your Loved Ones

As mothers of young children, Kim Buchholz and Skye Ferrera understand the need to provide a proper estate plan that grants you and your loved ones security and peace of mind. Kim and Skye’s mission is to help you create an estate plan that best suits you and your family.

“It wasn’t until I became a parent that I fully appreciated the need to have my affairs in order. It’s reassuring to know that my children will be taken care of should my husband or I die or become unable to care for them. I thoroughly enjoy being able to help others obtain that same reassurance. Helping families similarly situated to my own has been rewarding and I am so grateful for the opportunity to balance being an attorney with being a mother and wife.”  -Kim Buchholz

“My husband and I chose to work with Ms. Buchholz and Ms. Ferrera to have our Trust set up. This ended up being one of our best decisions! Kim and Skye came to our home for all the meetings. They thoroughly explained everything and were always available to answer more questions as we went through the process of getting all our financial information together. They provided valuable guidance to insure that our Trust is sound and protects all of our interest. It was a much easier process than we ever imagined and we feel much more relaxed knowing that our affairs are in order should anything happen to us and that our family is protected from the court and tax process.” – small business owners Rod & Julie

My love for exploring and creating experiences with my three kids led to the founding of SacramentoSidetracks.com in 2009. I realized that Sacramento has so much to offer and I was excited to share my findings with other parents. Besides simply having fun, these are the other positive side effects of taking my kids on outings that I’ve discovered: we have quality time together away from the distractions at home, we cultivate our curiosity, learn new things, conversations are triggered by what we see and do, we connect and bond as a family, and we create new memories. Ready to get sidetracked, too? Let me be your guide!
