Choosing a Guardian for Your Child(ren)

Written By Kevin McKernan

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 include: 

4. Family dynamic 

5. Geographical considerations 

6. Sibling situation 

7. Personal guardian vs. Financial manager 

8. Willingness to Serve: The Conversation
