Another important part of the estate planning process is the nomination of a guardian for your children who are under 18 years of age. A guardian is a person appointed by the court to care for a minor or the minor’s estate. A nomination of guardian provides the court with evidence of your wishes. The nomination is one of many factors considered by a judge in making the selection of a guardian for your children.
