: Georgia Wills, Trusts and Estate Planning BlogIf You Really Can't Decide Who to Name As Guardians, Here's What to Do
By Stephen Worrall
There are a lot of parents out there who have not named
guardians for their kids because they really can't decide.
You might be one of them.
But, here's the thing. If you don't decide and something happens to you, the decision gets made by a Judge.
You don't want that, do you?
Here's a few things that may help you decide:
1. Think through on a practical, realistic and non-emotional (to the extent you can) level who would come forward to raise your kids if you were in an accident.
2. Is that who you would want to raise your kids?
3. If not, who would be better than that person or those people?
4. If more than one person would come forward, who
would a Judge pick if the Judge had to decide between all
the people who would come forward?
Bottom line?
If you don't decide, a Judge will. Even your worst choice would be better than that, right? If not knowing who you want to name has been holding you back, don't let it hold you back a second longer. Do it now. It's Free. It's Easy. No Excuses.
