Many Maryland parents today find themselves part of the “Sandwich Generation”—caring for their growing children while also supporting aging parents. Balancing these dual responsibilities is emotionally demanding and financially stressful. At Limsky Law Group in Ellicott City, MD, we help families create estate plans that ease these burdens and protect their loved ones across multiple generations.

Supporting Everyone, Now and Later

A comprehensive estate plan can address the immediate needs of elderly parents while also providing long-term security for your children. For example, establishing a trust can allow you to allocate resources for your parents’ care now and then seamlessly transfer remaining assets to your children in the future. This type of planning ensures sustained financial stability for your entire family.

Planning for the Unexpected

Life is unpredictable, which makes establishing powers of attorney and healthcare directives essential. These documents ensure that decisions about medical care and financial matters remain in trusted hands if you or your loved ones are unable to act. Without these protections, families may face costly and time-consuming court interventions during already stressful times.

Easing Future Stress Through Open Communication

Openly discussing responsibilities and final wishes with your family can reduce misunderstandings and conflicts later. These conversations are not always easy, but they lay the groundwork for smoother transitions when difficult times arise. At Limsky Law Group, we encourage clients to revisit and update their estate plans regularly to ensure they reflect current circumstances and wishes.

Tax-Efficient Strategies for the Sandwich Generation

Caring for two generations at once can strain your finances, which is why exploring tax-efficient strategies is so important. Techniques such as gifting assets during your lifetime or paying your parents’ medical expenses directly can help reduce both their taxable estate and yours. With careful planning, these strategies provide immediate financial relief while also safeguarding your family’s future.

Estate Planning: An Act of Care

Though estate planning can feel overwhelming, it is truly an act of love and foresight. By preparing documents and engaging in important conversations now, you can reduce stress and uncertainty for everyone involved.
