While all of us would like to live forever, our future is always uncertain, and custody planning for minor children is an important part of estate planning. We can’t predict what happens to us, but we can prepare for life’s unexpected twists and turns and take steps to protect our family members.
When a family is going through its hardest times, proper estate planning will help ease the burdens of death or incapacity. Part of estate planning and preparation is the appointment of guardianship. In the event of the loss of a parent, a guardian is granted autonomy and control over a minor to help improve the minor’s life and future, including financial and medical decision making.
In preparing wills, parents should name at least one successor guardian in the event they are unable to complete their own duty as guardians, or if they pass while the child is still a minor. At Puff, Sierzega & MacFeeters Law Offices, custody planning for minor children is all a part of our all-encompassing expertise in estate planning.
