Good Grief: Whos Gets Custody of Your Kids if Something Happens to You? Designate Guardians for Your Children in One Guided Session

Description

If something unexpected happened to you, who would take care of your children?

Many parents assume that naming godparents or creating a will automatically ensures their children will be raised by the people they trust most. In reality, without proper legal documentation, courts may need to decide who will take custody of your children, even if you had clear intentions.

In this workshop, estate planning attorney Nik Sallie, founder of Tastemakers Legal in Austin, will walk parents through one of the most important and often overlooked steps in family protection: legally designating guardians for your children.

Nik will explain what happens legally if parents become incapacitated or pass away, why a will alone may not fully protect your kids, and how parents can ensure trusted caregivers can step in immediately without confusion or court involvement. Participants will also learn about the Kids Protection Plan®, a simple process that allows families to create a legal guardian nomination document quickly and securely.

This session is designed for parents who may not yet have a full estate plan but want to take a meaningful first step toward protecting their children and ensuring their wishes are honored. This workshop is hosted by Good Grief, a platform dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate serious illness, end-of-life planning, and loss with clarity and support.
