If something happened to you tomorrow, do you know what would legally happen to your kids?
I’m Allison Higgins, a Texas attorney. I help parents close the gap no one explains—so the people you trust can actually step in, without chaos or court delays.
This is the gap most parents don’t realize exists—until they see how it works.

If something happens to you, decisions about your children don’t wait.
We help parents put clear, enforceable plans in place so the people you trust can step in right away.

Without a plan, the law fills in the gaps.
We help parents make intentional decisions about guardianship, care, and authority—before anyone else has to.
Peace of Mind
Decisions Made by You—Not by Default
Peace of Mind
Knowing there’s a plan changes how you live.
It replaces uncertainty with confidence that your children would be protected and cared for.
Why This Gap Exists
Most parents are doing everything right — they’re just missing one piece no one clearly explains.
1. Emergency situations move faster than paperwork
Wills and long-term plans don’t control what happens in the first hours or days after an emergency. That window is governed by a different set of rules.
2. Trust alone isn’t legal authority
Even if you’ve talked with family or close friends, verbal plans don’t give anyone the legal ability to act on your behalf.
3. The law defaults when parents don’t decide
When there’s no clear authorization in place, systems step in to protect children — often temporarily, and often without context about your wishes.
How Families Close The Gap
The Trust Higgins Family Protection Kit helps parents put clear, legally meaningful instructions in place for real-world situations — not just future planning. It’s designed to be completed quickly, understood easily, and used immediately if needed.
What Parents Are Saying
"We have a will in place, but I never realized how unprotected my kids were in moments immediately after an accident- the most frightening, confusing moments of all. Trust Higgins opened my eyes to that gap. With the Family Protection Kit, I now have peace of mind knowing that from the very second we can't be there, my children will be surrounded by the people we trust most. The kit was incredibly easy to complete. It removed the overhwlem and replaced it with clarity and confidence."
