Understanding Guardian

Guardian

“A guardian is someone appointed by a court or named in a will to make decisions and care for a minor child or incapacitated adult.”

In estate planning, parents can name a guardian in their will to care for their children if both parents pass away.

If no guardian is named, the court decides who will take responsibility.

Choosing a guardian is one of the most important steps you can take—we can guide you through the process.
