If you are a parent, thinking about who will care for your children should you not be able to is not only difficult but overwhelming. Determining a legal guardian for your children is a hard decision to face, but one of the most important you can make. Our firm is here to help you work through this decision, educate you on your options and help you understand the court's process should legal guardians need to be implemented.

Standby Guardianship

​

A Standby Guardianship is a useful tool for young parents.  This is a tool that can be used by parents of minor children to petition the court in order to allow a person whom they know, a family member or close friend, to care for their children when they can no longer do so.  When you add the Standby Guardianship to your Will or Living Revocable Trust and the Power of Attorney for Healthcare and the Power of Attorney for Property, you are beginning to lay the foundation of your estate.

Every Family & Situation is Unique

We understand how important it is for parents to be able to determine guardianship of their children. Guardianship allows parents to make decisions about a child's upbringing, education, financial affairs, and well-being when the child is not legally able to do so on their own. Here are factors to consider when determining a guardian for your children:

• The relationships of your children with family members or close friends,

• The ability of potential guardians to manage:

  • Relational and emotional support,

  • Educational needs,

  • Necessary medical treatment, and

  • Financial matters
