What happens to our children if we pass away?

My husband and I have a minor child together; how can we ensure they are placed in the custody of a person of our choosing if something were to happen to us?

This question goes back to the importance of having a will. Within a will you can name guardians, conservators, and trustees. I suggest to everyone that that they name not only a primary person but an alternate person as well. In general, the Court will do everything they can to place the individual in the position you have named in your will so long as they meet the requirements required by law.

If you have any questions please call me.
