The issues involving wills and property inheritance are always tricky.
There are complications and sometimes these are the causes of some conflicts between family members of the diseased.
The naming of guardianship in wills is no exception.
It is important that things be understood well in order to avoid confusion and miscommunication.
In divorce cases, the parent who has legal custody over the children gets to name a guardian for his/her children.
Most of the time, however, the court can overrule your decision if the person chosen is someone other than the biological parent.
You can also name alternate guardians for your kids, should the original be unable to do the job.
If you would prefer, you can also choose two guardians.
One guardian is responsible for raising and taking care of your children, and the other can be responsible for handling the financial affairs and the property and estate you have left for your kids.
This can work out nicely if you think this is the best decision, and if the person chosen to take charge over the financial situation of your children is more experienced in the field.
It is also good if you feel that one person is not enough to take care of your children.
You may also give the children their share of the inheritance directly.
However, it is best to give the guardian/s some sort of control over your children's money and financial situation to keep the children from throwing their money around and from spending it foolishly.
