Marcus nodded in approval as he flipped through the complicated legal jargon.
"Furthermore, we have established ironclad trusts for Chloe, Leo, and Ethan," David continued.
"If anything happens to you, your sister-in-law will have full guardianship, and your parents will have zero legal rights to even request visitation."

"I also looked into your parents' financial situation as part of the background check," the lawyer added cautiously.
"It is much worse than you thought, Marcus."
David slid a separate folder across the polished mahogany table.
