It's critically important for those who have minor children to select a guardian for them, in case the unthinkable happens.  Likewise, parents may choose a separate person to serve as a conservator, to manage and safeguard the children's assets. Or, you can create a trust for their future benefit, that will only exist if you pass away.  There are options to suit every family and financial circumstance.
