We understand the hesitation — but think about it this way. The best gifts are the ones people need but wouldn't buy for themselves. New parents spend months preparing for their baby's arrival, but almost none of them set up the legal protections their family needs. Giving an estate plan isn't morbid — it's one of the most loving, practical things you can do for someone you care about.

Registries are full of wonderful things — and they'll get plenty of them. But ask any parent what gift they remember most from their baby shower, and it's never the onesies. It's the gift that showed real thought. An estate plan says: "I care about your family's future." That's the gift they'll talk about for years.

It doesn't have to be! This is actually a perfect group gift. Gather a few friends or family members and split the cost — each person contributes what they would have spent on a baby gift anyway, and together you give something truly meaningful. We also offer partial contribution options, so you can cover part of the cost and the parents can handle the rest when they're ready.

In our experience, it's the opposite — parents feel relieved. Most new parents know they need an estate plan but haven't gotten around to it. Receiving it as a gift removes the friction. It's not a reminder of something scary; it's someone taking a worry off their plate. Every single family we've worked with who received this as a gift has told us how grateful they were.
