#34 The toughest decision for clients with children - choosing guardians

Naming guardians for minor children in a Will is, hands down, one of the most emotional (and often avoided) parts of estate planning. It’s heavy, it’s real, and it's the most important decision you'll ever make.  As estate planning lawyers, we know this decision is too important to ignore.   In this episode, I share my tips on how to support clients to make a thoughtful, values-based decision (instead of just defaulting to the nearest relative who seems okay-ish).    We cover:   Why clients procrastinate on naming guardians (and how to gently get them unstuck)   Practical questions to help guide the decision-making process   The role of letters of wishes and family discussions     If you’ve ever had a client freeze when you ask about guardianship, this episode is for you. You’ll walk away with fresh strategies to guide them through one of the most personal choices they’ll ever make.
