A Will is the only place where you can appoint a Guardian for your children. If you die without having made a Will, that opportunity will have been lost.

If you are a parent of young children, including those not yet born, there is of course a strong desire to protect their future if anything happens to you.

Making a Will enables you, as a parent, to appoint legal Guardians of your choice to look after your children until they reach the age of 18. Tragically, where a Will has not been made, the courts will appoint someone on your behalf – but it may be someone you would not have chosen, or wanted. Your children could even end up in care.
