There is a question I ask when parents tell me they've already thought about who would raise their children: What happens in the first 72 hours?
Most have never thought about it. They've planned for the long-term, the question of who would raise their children through childhood, and that is the right question to ask. But almost none have planned for the immediate question: who has legal authority to pick your children up from school tonight? Who can authorize emergency medical care before any court process has begun?
A complete plan addresses both. A plan that only names a long-term guardian leaves a gap. And gaps are where already hard situations get much harder. If you are a parent and you haven't addressed both pieces, that is the conversation I want to have with you.
And that conversation doesn't end at signing. I stay in a relationship with the families I work with, so that when something happens, your family has someone to call who already knows the plan and can help them activate it. That is the part no document, on its own, can do.
