It’s Vacation Time — Are Your Children Protected?
|
Q. My husband and I are finally taking our dream vacation to visit Greece this summer. Our children, Mason (11) and Emilie (9), will be at sleepaway camp, and then at their grandmother’s house, so they will not be going with us. While we should be thinking about sun, fun, and relaxation, I keep having these nightmares about how if something happened to me and my husband, they would be
orphans.
To alleviate the stress and stop the nightmares, I figured I should do some planning for my children before we leave. I’m wondering: would a Will be enough to protect them, should something happen to us? Also, how can we decide who will care for our children should something happen to us, when our choices are extremely limited? Thanks so much for your help!

Critter Corner: Choosing a Guardian for Our Children
|
We have young children and are considering doing a Child Protection Plan for each of them. We know we need to name guardians for our children, should we die or become incapacitated. The problem is that I cannot think of anyone who would be right to assume the role. Our parents on both sides are sick or caring for someone who is sick, and our sisters have their own families with young children. And we
really want to choose a married couple if possible. What criteria do you suggest we use in making the decision?
