Did you know that the guardians you name in your Will only take over after you die—and only after someone finds your Will and takes it to court? That process can take time, during which your children could be left in limbo. Worse, if you haven’t named guardians at all, a judge who doesn’t know your family will decide who raises your children. How long might your kids be with the wrong person while the paperwork gets sorted out?

The Child Safety Net System™

Developed by Fine Point Law founder Roxanne Olson, a mother of two and experienced estate planning attorney, the Child Safety Net System™ addresses this critical gap in traditional estate plans. It ensures your children are cared for by the people you choose—immediately, not eventually. This system ensures that your wishes are clear, accessible, and legally enforceable in any emergency—not just after death.

What’s Included:

1. Custom legal documents recognized by schools and medical providers
2. Temporary caregiver authorization for vacations, emergencies, or unexpected absences
3. Emergency responder instructions to notify EMS, fire, or police of your chosen Family First Responders
4. Protection against CPS placement—so your children aren’t taken into state custody
5. Medical consent and HIPAA releases for temporary guardians
6. Exclusion clauses to prevent specific individuals from gaining custody

Included in Every Estate Plan

We believe every child deserves this level of protection. That’s why the Child Safety Net System™ is included in even our most basic estate planning package. We begin every client relationship with a Legacy Planning Session—a conversation to get clear on your values, wishes, and the best legal tools to protect your family.
