Appointing a Guardian for your child(ren) in the event of your death

1 August 2018

If this is the case you may want to consider appointing a guardian for your children. A parent with parental responsibility may appoint another individual to be the children’s guardian in the event of their death. An appointment shall not have effect unless it is made in writing, is dated and signed by the person making the appointment. A guardianship clause may also be made by Will.

Where:
a) On the death of the person making the appointment, the child concerned has no parent with parental responsibility for him or;

b) Immediately before the death of any person making the appointment, a child arrangements order was in force in which the person was named as person with whom the child(ren) was to live or the person was the child(ren’s) only (or last surviving) special guardian.

The appointment shall take effect on the death of that person.

What our clients say

Professional, compassionate and timely service

Anjani and Sophie have been nothing but professional and compassionate throughout my experience, they have always been on the ball with deadlines and have ensured everything is done in a timely manner. I'd describe the whole process as compact and considerate, ensuring things ran smoothly and there wasn't any
unnecessary tasks added which saved money and time. Very happy to have had them work with me!

Reassuring support through difficult times

Going into this process, I was terrified and emotional, from the start Hollie was reassuring, gave me all the information I could need, explained processes and answered all my questions regardless of how simple they may have been. Fullers helped me when situations changed and gave me the help I needed at a vulnerable point in my life. I genuinely couldn't of gotten a better experience elsewhere

Efficient, cost-saving divorce solution

The service I received from Jane-Louise and the team at Fullers Family Law was exemplary. Jane-Louise is one of the few solicitors that can deal with both parties using the Together We Part system. This works out so much cheaper and far quicker to get the divorce granted as only one lawyer is needed. This obviously only works if you're in agreement but if you are, I urge you to contact Jane-Louise and the team to discuss the Together We Part option. It saved us thousands and the divorce was granted within 6 months! Thank you team for your professionalism throughout.
