Guardian Guidelines
Guardian Guidelines: An Overview
Guardian Guidelines are important not only if both parents of the child pass away but also for the surviving parent of a child. After the death of a parent, the surviving parent often experiences extreme isolation and difficultly in decision making. What a comfort for the survivor to know that they have already thought through many of the large life issues affecting the child with the parent who has passed away.
Our Desires for my Children LawPack leads you through these issues and creates a place for your thoughts to be documented and updated over time.
Here is a selection of the issues that we encourage parents to consider:
-
Place to live - where would you like your child to be brought up?
-
Others to be involved in you child’s upbringing and to what extent
-
Medical / health / developmental issues
-
Preferred approach to discipline
-
Preferred approach to character development
-
Religious instruction/involvement
-
Family/cultural/traditional values
-
Education preferences
-
Extra Curricular Activity
-
Money Management
-
Part-time employment
- Travel
Our Desires for my Children LawPack provides a convenient way to collect these thoughts in an ordered manner with many prompts to help you in the detail of the guidelines you provide.
