Your children and dependents are presently heavily dependent upon yourself and should you no longer be there for them, they will become highly dependent upon their appointed guardian. This will be a very onerous obligation for the individual(s) who is appointed and accepts the appointment of serving as the guardian for your children. For they must fill void left by your passing, with the additional emotional and psychological challenges that will impact your children as a result of their having lost their parents and primary care-givers.
As the new primary care-givers, the guardian is required not only required to act a replacement parent, they will also generally be entrusted with overseeing the financial protection of the child. This is not something that can be left to chance, but should be appropriately set out ahead of time such that there are clear parameters and rules for your children's upbringing. As such, your children's future is best insured and direct by taking appropriate pro-active measures to direct their future well-being, which begins with your conversation with the right lawyer on the topic.
