As a parent, your primary responsibility is the well-being and care of your children. It is essential to plan for their future in case anything happens to you while they are still minors. This involves making clear decisions about their guardianship and the management of any financial resources you leave behind.
Ideally, your child's other parent would take custody if you cannot be there. However, this may not always be possible or desirable. Even if your child's other parent is capable of taking custody, you might prefer someone else to manage the financial resources you leave for your child.
Regardless of your specific situation, whether you are a single parent or have shared custody, it is vital to take the necessary legal steps to document your wishes. This includes specifying who you would want to raise your child, how you want your child to be raised, and how you want your assets to be handled for your child's benefit. By doing so, you ensure that your child's future is secure according to your preferences.
