Establishing a comprehensive estate plan to designate a guardian for your child or children is one of the most important things you can do as a parent. Life is unpredictable, so proactive families can plan for an unforeseen event and name a trusted friend or family member to take care of their child or children if they pass away.

Guardianship is the best way to protect and provide for your children and make sure that your children are supported and cared for with food, a home, and education if you die. A well-rounded plan includes trusted protection and care for your children if you are incapacitated. Consider including a separate standby guardianship in your will. A standby guardianship document allows the person designated to be a guardian under certain circumstances, providing your children an extra layer of security.
