Who will look after your children if something happens to you?


W


hat is a legal guardian, and why do I need one for my child?


A legal guardian is an adult designated to care for a child in case both parents die before that child reaches adulthood. While the thought might make you shudder, you need to choose a guardian so the courts don’t do it for you if the worst should happen.


If you think your mother or sister would automatically receive custody of your child, you’re mistaken. Unless you specifically name a guardian in your Will, anyone can step forward and ask for the job, and a judge will decide who gets custody. Making a Will is vitally important.
