Discuss guardianship of minors and it’s relationship to wills and trusts.
What will be an ideal response?
Without a will a court will have to select a guardian based on “the best interest of the child.” This is usually a blood relative even if that person is not whom the now deceased parent would have wanted. In a worst-case-scenario, if nobody steps forward to take the children, they could become wards of the state further complicating matters. This is especially a problem when there are no surviving blood relatives or when the potential guardians cannot take more than one child without hardship. The children may be split up if a family willing to take all the decedent’s minor children cannot be found. A court will have to appoint a special guardian to handle their financial affairs, depleting funds available for their direct care.
