APPOINTMENTS OF GUARDIANS

We make our wills for lots of different reasons, perhaps the most common reason is that we wish to ensure that our property and assets are protected and that they are still there when we die and pass on to our children. However if you have children under the age of 16 you should also make provision for who will care for them if you and your spouse die before they reach 16.

usually people will appoint a close relative to act as guardians.

It is only possible however for a will to express your wishes in this area, as the formal appointment of guardians will always rest with the courts. However when a court makes this decision the first thing they will always look for is a valid will containing your wishes and they will be taken into account and given due weight. In fact peoples wishes are normally carried out without the intervention of a court, and only get involved if a dispute arises and your wishes are normally enough to resolve any such dispute.

ANYONE WITH INFANT CHILDREN SHOULD ALWAYS APPOINT GUARDIANS IN THEIR WILL.
