Couples with young children have a major decision to make. Who will serve as guardian of the children if both of them should die before the children reach 18?
Clients wanted to know whether it was wise to name a brother and his wife as the guardians of their 3 children. I often cite the issue of divorce. What happens to the children if there should be a divorce of the guardians? Who do you want to have the children in that situation? The person you name in that situation should be the person named in your will as guardian.
You do not want your children in the middle of a custody dispute if you can plan ahead and avoid that potentiality.
