Guardianship
Lastly, and most importantly if you have young children, you may designate a Guardian for your minor children. There are many considerations that must be considered, but you can express your wishes as to whom the Probate Court should appoint to raise your children when both parents have died. Also, you should consider the new Standby Guardianship procedure which is a simplified procedure to name in advance a temporary guardian if certain specified conditions occur. The Standby Guardian is often allowed to act immediately upon death (but is limited by law to a limited period of 60 days), so important decisions can be made for the children without going to Probate Court during that difficult time.
