Kids Protection Attorney in New York
Every parent wants to know their children will be cared for by the right people if something unexpected happens. A Kids Protection Plan is an estate-planning tool designed to ensure that your children are legally protected and cared for by the guardians you choose. Whether you live in Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, or the Hudson Valley, having a clear legal plan in place ensures that your children are never left without trusted caregivers.
At The Law Office of Lizzette Muñiz, we help parents create Kids Protection Plans that document who will care for their children, how care should be provided, and what legal steps are needed to ensure smooth transitions during emergencies or long-term situations.
Why Legal Representation Matters for Kids’ Protection Plans
A Kids Protection Plan provides clarity and legal authority so your wishes for your children are honored. Working with an attorney ensures that:
• You name long-term legal guardians who will care for your children
• You designate temporary or short-term caregivers to avoid gaps in care
• Instructions for caregivers are clearly documented
• All guardianship nominations comply with New York law
• Your estate plan supports the financial needs of your children
Our team helps you put the right legal protections in place so your children are always cared for by the people you trust.

A Kids Protection Plan is a proactive estate planning solution that helps parents legally establish:
