Choosing a Guardian for your Child(ren)

Written By Kevin McKernan

The essential factors to keep in mind when choosing a guardian for your little ones. Without a formal guardianship designation in place, the courts will decide who raises your children - and their choice may not align with your wishes.

1. Genuine Interest: The Heart Factor 

2. Shared Values: The Compass Check 

3. Capability: The Physical, Emotional, and Financial Readiness 

Other important factors we discuss in our blog include: 

4. Family Dynamic 

5. Geographical Considerations 

6. Sibling Situation 

7. Personal Guardian vs. Financial Manager 

8. Willingness to Serve
