Dangerous myths when choosing a guardian in a Will

For parents with minor children, one of the important provisions within a Will is the naming of a “guardian”.  In most situations, this provision will only come into play if both parents pass away, and therefore, their minor children are left with no primary caretaker.  Regardless of how unpleasent this topic may be, parents need to think about this issue carefully during the estate planning process.

I recently read an article by Jocoba Urist (an attorney and Huffington Post blogger) entitled “4 Dangerous Myths About Choosing a Guardian” which does a good job of flushing out some common misconceptions that parents have regarding naming a guardian.  The complete article can be found here:
