It is vital that single parents consider using Will writing solicitors in North Wales.
One of the major parts of this document normally relates to the care of a child or children in the event of a parent’s death. The decision of assets must be considered carefully and, often, the inclusion of detailed explanations of decisions is added to the Will.
Appointing a guardian for any children is essential, otherwise decisions about their care may be taken by the courts of law. Individuals can be named in the Will, but it is important to consider many factors before deciding who should take up this role. These could include examining the relationship to the children of the proposed guardian, what their values and beliefs are and if they are compatible with the expectations of the testator.
There are several different types of guardians and Wills solicitors in North Wales can explain the options. These generally include court appointed, emergency and testamentary guardians. Each should be looked at closely with a legal advisor to ensure the most appropriate is chosen.
Once the guardians have been chosen, the division of assets should be included in the Will. Some single parents want to split their estate equally between children but if this is not the case, a breakdown of how each decision was reached could help offspring understand the thought process behind each choice.
