Who will Care for Your Children? - In-person

A Free Guardianship Workshop for Parents

If something happened to you, do you know who would care for your children immediately and long-term?

If something were to happen to you, do you know who would care for your children immediately and long-term?  Don't leave this critical decision to chance or the courts.  This free, interactive workshop will walk parents through the essential steps of legally naming guardians for their children, avoiding common mistakes, and ensuring their kids are never placed in the care of strangers or the foster care system.

You'll learn:

• How to choose the right guardians. (short-term and permanent)
• The legal documents you need (and what happens if you don't have them)
• Common pitfalls that can invalidate your guardianship plans.
• Why planning now gives your family the best protection.
• What to do if your first choice can't serve when the time comes.
