No one wants to imagine the possibility of someone else raising their child. However, you want to have a plan for your little one if something were to happen to you or your partner. If you don’t, you ultimately leave their fate in the hands of a judge. Choosing a guardian for your child is a critical decision all parents must make. That is why you should seek professional help to learn about the different types of Wills and the best way to implement the one that is right for you.
No one can replace you as a parent, however, it’s important to find someone who mirrors your values and has the finances available to take on another child. Before making the big decision, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. Find a time to sit down with your partner and make a list of potential candidates. Consider things like location, age and health history.
