One of those things you should do even if you have extremely limited financial wealth
“I don’t have any estate, to speak of. I don’t need a will,” say some people.
But if you have children, you should at least nominate a guardian.
And now Jennifer Sawday and Monica Goel, the attorneys who write the California Estate Planning Blog, have provided at least the outline of a “Nomination of Guardian” for your children should you happen to die while they are still in their minority. (Actually, the document contains quite a bit more than a mere outline! It holds much of the exact wording you may want to use. But notice their disclaimers. Once you have drafted your own version of such a document, in which you work out, to the best of your ability, a concise and precise expression of the goals you want to achieve, it really would be a good idea to get a competent estate planning attorney’s review.)
You can find the sample document in their article titled Nominating a Guardian at the Last Minute.
