Naming Legal Guardians for Minor Children

If you and your spouse/partner cannot agree on who would be the ideal guardian(s) for your kids, that’s something we can help with.  We have training from the Family Wealth Planning Institute on helping parents work through this critical decision.

If you do nothing, the decision about who would raise your children (if something were to happen to you) would be left up to a judge to decide.
 
A judge who doesn’t know you, doesn’t know what’s important to you, and doesn’t know your children will make all the decisions about who cares for the people who are most important to you in the world.

We know that’s not what you want.

And, truth is …  there may never be a perfect solution for you, but there is definitely a solution that is better than your children being raised by someone you didn’t choose. 

Perhaps you think the way so many parents do, “if we don’t anticipate it, it will never happen, right?” 

Then I guess that means you don’t need things like insurance or any other type of protection since bad things never happen to good people, right?  And wouldn’t it be great if that were true.

Responsible parents protect their children, and that means you must think about the unthinkable. 

Fortunately, there is a sensible approach to the selection of a guardian for your children that makes it a lot easier. And we can guide you through this most important of decisions.

In addition, we will guide you to put in place a comprehensive Kids Protection Plan® that will help make sure you avoid the common mistakes most people make when choosing guardians for their children. Check out the 6 Common Mistakes People Make When Choosing Guardians for Their Children.
