Choose Who You Trust to Care for Your Children
For parents, one of the most important parts of estate planning is deciding who should care for minor children if both parents are unable to do so. A guardianship nomination allows parents to express their wishes and provide guidance to the court and family.
At Kanu & Associates, P.C., we help parents in Arizona and New Mexico include thoughtful guardianship nominations in their estate plans.
Why Guardian Nominations Matter
Without written guidance, family members may disagree about who should care for the children. A guardianship nomination can help reduce uncertainty and show the court who the parents trusted.
Parents may want to consider:
- The child’s relationship with the proposed guardian
- Family values and culture
- School and community stability
- Religious or personal beliefs
- Financial responsibility
- Location and family support
Protecting Children Through Planning
Guardianship nominations are commonly included in a Last Will and Testament and coordinated with trusts or other planning documents.
