Having a personal will in place becomes increasingly more important once children are in the picture. There are many reasons why a will is an important protection for your children’s and family’s future. We discuss this below and show how Legal Corner subscribers have help available at the click of their mouse.

1.Guardianship

It is vital to have potential guardians for minor children named in your will should you pass away. If you do not have a will in place assigning guardianship it is likely the state will decide who takes care of your children. That decision may not necessarily be the same one you would make as a parent.

2.Managed Assets

A will lets you determine how your remaining assets will be managed, or, in other words, spent or used. That includes how you want your surviving children to be raised, educated and cared for via those assets by the designated guardian you appointed.

3.Designated Beneficiaries

In order for your children to have access to your assets, you must provide financial protection through making them beneficiaries of your will. The last thing you want to happen is to have family fighting over who gets what when your kids are dealing with an already very difficult circumstance.
