Estate planning for parents with young kids.

Name a guardian, make your will, and leave your family clear instructions — guided step by step by Dandie, in plain language. Built for parents who want a plan in place before they ever need it.

Love,with
instructions

If you have young kids, a plan isn't optional.

It's the difference between your children being guided by your wishes and being left to a process that doesn't know them. Here's what's actually at stake.

A court names the guardian if you don't.

Without a guardian named in writing, a judge decides who raises your kids — someone who never heard your wishes, choosing under pressure for a family they don't know.

Love isn't a legal instruction.

The people you'd trust with your children can't act on what they assume you wanted. They need it written down — clearly enough to hold up and be followed.

The hardest time to make a plan is in a crisis.

A little time now spares the people you love a great deal of uncertainty later. The plan that protects your kids is the one that already exists when it's needed.

What you'll set up.

A complete plan for a young family comes down to a few things done well. Dandie guides you through each one.

Name a guardian

Decide who would raise your children — and put it in writing the right way, so the choice is yours, not a court's. Dandie walks you through who to consider and how to make it official.

Make your will

Set out who inherits what and who carries out your wishes, using attorney-designed templates. No legalese to decode — just plain-language steps that fit your family.

Organize the documents

Gather the records, accounts, healthcare wishes, and instructions your family would need to find — and leave them somewhere your people can actually reach in an emergency.

Dandelion turns conversations into plans. Meet Dandie

Your kids, your pets, your accounts, your partner, your parents, the people and details that make up your life.

A Will with no Power of Attorney. A guardian you've never named. Insurance your family couldn't find in an emergency.

Sometimes that means creating a doc with you. Sometimes it means pointing you to an estate attorney. Either way, you get a next step in plain language, not a form to figure out alone.

Built for trust.

Because your family's information and plans should never come at the expense of protecting them.

It’s okay to have questions.

"I don't have an estate, why would I need an estate plan?"

If you have children, loved ones, assets, responsibilities, or people who depend on you, you have decisions worth documenting. Estate planning isn't for the wealthy, it's for anyone who loves someone else.

"I did my Will years ago. I'm good, right?"

Life keeps moving — new people, new homes, new accounts. A plan that hasn't kept up can create more confusion than clarity. The best plans are living ones that change as your life does.

"Why do I need this now?"

Later has a way of never arriving, and the hardest time to make a plan is in the middle of a crisis. A little time now spares the people you love a great deal of uncertainty down the road.

"Isn't this all just a bummer?"

Planning isn't about dwelling on the end — it's an act of care. It's how you make sure the people you love feel guided rather than lost, and know just how much you thought of them.

It turns out, peace of mind feels pretty good.
