## Resource

Thomas Kopelman is joined by Lisa Weigel, Senior Counsel and Strategic Growth Director at Wealth.com , to explore the essential estate planning steps new parents need to take. They break down how to designate guardians in a will, structure trusts for minor children, and build in flexibility through mechanisms like trust protectors. The conversation also dives into funding strategies—from 529 plans and Roth IRAs to gifting trusts and qualified education gifts—helping parents and grandparents find the right savings vehicles for their family's goals. Whether your clients just had their first child or are revisiting their plan as their family grows, this episode offers a practical roadmap for getting it right.
