Deciding who will take care of your minor children if something happens to you is one of the most important decisions you can make as a parent. The most common way to appoint a guardian is to name them in your Will. You can name one person as a guardian or a couple as co-guardians. You can also create a succession plan for this role in case the first person you appoint is unable to serve. At Satterfield Legal, we routinely counsel clients on these decisions and draft documents to reflect their wishes.
Whether you are a new parent or have multiple kids, we are happy to help walk you through guardianship decisions as part of your estate plan.
