If I don't set up an estate plan, does the government do it for me?

Yes, the government will intervene if you don't have an estate plan, managing your estate through a process known as "Intestate Probate." This involves government oversight where your estate's affairs, such as settling bills and distributing assets, are handled through court processes that are open to public scrutiny. Lacking a personal estate plan means your family can face a public and bureaucratic process that could drag on.

What happens to my minor children if I am no longer there to care for them?

In the absence of any specified wishes in your will, the state will decide who will take care of your children. To prevent this, it's advisable to nominate a guardian in your will. Moreover, setting up a trust can ensure that funds are available for your children's needs, such as education and maintenance, under the management of a trustee until they are old enough to manage these resources themselves.

What should unmarried partners consider for handling emergencies?

Unmarried partners should legally prepare for emergencies by drafting documents like powers of attorney and health care directives. These documents are crucial because they grant you the authority to act on your partner's behalf in medical or financial emergencies, a right not automatically granted to partners who are not married. Having these documents in place ensures that you can make important decisions without facing legal barriers during critical moments.
