Declaration of Guardianship

Declaration of Guardian

SEEK LEGAL GUIDANCE FROM OUR KATY ESTATE PLANNING ATTORNEYS

A comprehensive estate plan includes more than a Last Will and Testament. You should also be sure to include a Declaration of Guardian in the event of incapacitation or need for a. guardian of yourself.  This document tells the court who you want to serve as a guardian of your estate and guardian of your person. This document also tells the court who you do not want to serve as guardian of your estate or person.

A “guardian” is someone who has the authority to make legal decisions on another’s behalf. A guardian may take the place of a minor child’s parents should their mother and father both become incapacitated or pass away, and it ensures the interests of incapacitated adults are protected, too. Before a guardian can be appointed over an individual, a legal lawsuit must ensue.  You can read more about guardianship proceedings, here. This document is a proactive measure to ensure that a chosen individual can step in and manage personal and medical decisions if guardianship occurs. It is important to know that this document does not bypass the court’s involvement when incapacity occurs as a judge must appoint a legal guardian. 

While it is a very difficult and emotional decision to think about who would care for your children in the event of your death and the death of your child’s other parent, it is often the deciding factor encouraging young parents to complete estate planning. In Texas, parents may name guardians for their children either within their will and in a separate document.
