Questions about this kit

Can I appoint a guardian in my Will without asking them first?+

Legally yes, but practically no. Guardianship is a serious commitment. Our workbook helps you structure the conversation and prepare the information your guardian will need.

What if both parents die at the same time?+

Courts will look for evidence of both parents' wishes. Naming a guardian in both Wills, with a letter explaining your reasoning, gives the court the clearest possible picture.

Can we appoint joint guardians?+

Yes. Many couples appoint a couple as joint guardians. The workbook covers this scenario, including what happens if the appointed guardians separate.
