Wills and minor children

M Most American adults do not have wills. Sadly many of those have minor children who will suffer, unnecessarily. As people of faith, we care who raises our children.
V When parents of minor children die without a will, the courts determine guardianship. Their first look is at close relatives and who the children know well. Our priority was a couple with like faith. That aspect was more important than family links. Another person can be designated custodian, of assets to meet our children’s needs.
M We recognize that young couples don’t anticipate early death. However, God has entrusted those children to you. Love them well by creating a good plan should the unexpected happen.
