In light of intensified immigration enforcement (ICE), it is crucial for non-citizens in the U.S. to have a legal contingency plan. Preparing for the unexpected is not just about financial security; it is about family integrity.
❓ Key Vulnerabilities
For those residing in the U.S. for years, sudden removal presents two main risks: the inability to manage U.S.-based assets (real estate, bank accounts) and the potential loss of custody of minor children to state agencies.
✅ The Essential Toolkit
Power of Attorney (POA): Designate a trusted individual in the U.S. to manage your financial affairs and property if you are unable to do so personally.
Standby Guardian: Pre-appoint a guardian for your minor children. This ensures that in the event of parental removal, your children remain with chosen family or friends rather than entering the foster care system.
💡 Firm Tip: Planning for Peace of Mind
These documents provide a safety net during high-stress transitions. We recommend these filings as a form of "legal insurance"—prepared in the hope they will never be needed.
