So here's the deal,

Even if you have named guardians in a will or a trust, you still need to have this set of legal documents to complete your planning. And if you don't have a will or a trust then you need these document even more!

Most parents believe they can create a will or trust that appoints legal guardians for their children, but in today's modern society this just isn't enough.

Medical technology has far surpassed the legal industry over even the last 50 years.

It is much more likely you will have a period of incapacity today at a young age than it is you will die. That's because medicine and science have figured out how to keep us alive, even if we're not conscious! But the legal industry hasn't figured out that we need guardians for our children during periods of incapacity-not just at death!

So, What's in the Ultimate Guardian System package, and why do you need it whether you have a will or trust or whether you don't?

Glad you asked 

This is a document  that appoints the individuals that you have chosen to take temporary custody of your minor children in the event of an emergency where you would not be immediately available to care for the children yourselves

Let's say you and your spouse go out for the evening on a date . You leave your child or children with a baby sitter. Unfortunately, something happens. You have an accident, and you don't make it home that night. Maybe the accident causes you and your spouse to be in the hospital for days or worse.

The Babysitter calls her mom. Several hours after you are supposed to be home, the babysitter's mom calls the police. Did you know unless someone has been given written temporary legal guardianship of your children, the police have a duty to take your children into protective custody!

What good will guardians appointed in a will do? You didn't die. A will is a death document that must be admitted to court in order to be given effect. No one has died, you just aren't available for your children. And even if you did die, who is in charge while the court approves the guardians appointed in your will? A will takes months to be given effect even after death. Your children are in a state of limbo during a period of incapacity, and after death, without this essential document.

This is different and in addition to the nomination of a temporary guardian. This document is telling the court who you want as permanent guardian while the temporary guardian is given authority to act during the agonizingly slow court process of appointing permanent guardians. The temporary and permanent guardians may be the same or may be different.

If the person who you want to serve as a permanent guardian lives in another part of the country it may take them some time to arrive upon the scene and take charge. Until that time it is important that someone has immediate authority to act to keep your child or children out of the state system. That could be a friend or relative that lives close by who is willing to act as temporary guardian is available. Even if the permanent guardian lives close by and can act immediately they still need both a temporary and permanent nomination. The temporary nomination gives them authority to act while they are waiting for the court to appoint them which could take months! 

A first responder is someone you select who is able to get to your home quickly and take care of your children in case of an emergency. They could be a neighbor, friend, or relative living close by. This is your super hero!

The selection of a First Responder, the legal authority to act, and these instructions are critical because they not only tell the first responder exactly what to do and who to contact in an emergency but the also give the first responders immediate legal authority to act so your children cannot be taken into child protection services custody. Your children should not have to spend one night in the state system, and they won't if you complete these important documents and provide copies to the people you nominate.

Now imagine how relieved you'll feel knowing that not only have you appointed first responders but you given complete instructions on what to do in an emergency. Not only that but the package includes first responder emergency contact cards which you can laminate and carry with you for medical personnel. In addition, imagine the peace of mind when giving your babysitter a copy of your first responders contact card every time you go out for the evening. There will be no reason for the police to take your children because your babysitter and her mom know exactly what to do in an emergency.

What good is legal authority without knowledge about your child, their medical history, their doctor, their immunization records. The Ultimate Guardian System is designed to empower your child's caregiver. Everything they need to make sure your child is protected from whatever happens.
