Taking Care of Your Children: Guardianship

Making a decision about who should raise your children in the event that something happens to you is not easy. It means thinking about your death and the possibility of not being around to watch them grow up - missing their first day of school, first date, graduation or wedding day. Difficult as it is, you need to nominate a guardian for your children. Guardianship ensures that arrangements are in place to best fulfill your children's custodial needs.
