A Will isn’t just for the elderly. If you’re a parent of children under the age of 18 then it is vital that you create a valid Will to appoint guardians who will take on parental responsibility for them in the event of your death.
• Guardians are appointed by someone who has parental responsibility for a child – and the appointment passes on parental responsibility.
• Children without a guardian will otherwise become wards of court – it will be up for the local authority to make suitable arrangements for the child’s care until the court’s decision has been made. This could mean a temporary stay with close relatives, foster carers, or in a children’s home.
