Who Would Raise Your Children If You Couldn't?

No parent wants to imagine a world where their children grow up without them. But as hard as it is to think about, the question is important: if something happened to you, who would raise your children?
Without a Will, the Court Decides
Many parents assume that their children would automatically be cared for by their closest family, perhaps a sibling or parent. But without a legally valid Will appointing guardians, the reality is very different.
The decision would fall to the Family Court, which will assess who to appoint based on various criteria. That process can take time, and in the meantime, your children may be placed in temporary care.
You Know Your Children Best
Only you understand your child’s needs, routines, personality and sensitivities, and who in your life would offer them the love and stability they need if the worst were to happen.
When you write a Will, you can legally appoint guardians you trust, giving your children the continuity and care they deserve.
It’s Not Just About the Law — It’s About Reassurance
Making a Will with guardianship provisions is about more than legal compliance. It’s about peace of mind for you, and security for your children. It ensures the people you trust are ready and able to step in, with minimal delay or confusion.
Planning for the unthinkable is one of the most loving things you can do.
Let’s make sure your loved ones are protected, now and always.
Make time now...for your family and your peace of mind.
