What is Guardianship Planning?

The Benefits of Guardianship Planning
1. Child's Well-being
Guardianship Planning provides a legal framework for ensuring that your child's physical, emotional, and financial needs are met by a trusted guardian in your absence.
2. Personal Choice
By designating a guardian of your choice, you retain control over who will care for your child. This is particularly important when your child has specific needs or preferences.
3. Avoiding Court Intervention
Without Guardianship Planning, the court may need to appoint a guardian for your child, which can be a lengthy and costly process. Guardianship Planning helps you avoid this scenario.
4. Continuity of Care
Your designated guardian can provide immediate care for your child, ensuring that their daily routine and life remain as stable as possible.
5. Financial Security
Guardianship Planning can include provisions for managing your child's financial affairs, including access to funds for education, healthcare, and other needs.
