If you have kids....who have you decided to take care of them if you die?

If you are married and have kids, who would you ask to to take care of them for you?

If you are married, no kids, but spouse is unable to care for themself (you are their caretaker and provider)

Have you written out your will?
If you have kids or have a spouse, you really should have a will. You never know what can happen!

Answer truthfully!

I have no will, although I am only 24 years old. I do have kids though so that is something that I should probably do, and actually have been thinking about it lately. I would probably have to say my wife's aunt and uncle by marriage, they are around her age and have two daughters and would most likely welcome the girls in as their own if something were to happen to me and my wife. The only thing I argue is that I don't want to think about what ifs, ya know like thinking about if I were to die. Why should I think about death when I am a fairly young man myself, it just seems depressing to think about something like that. But I know it should definitely be done.

I just turned 20, so I haven't been thinking too much about my will yet. I do have a grave plot already but that's it. If my boyfriend and I get married later (I'm not having kids) and he can't take of himself, either I'd do it myself or hire a nurse. Don't know if I'd need to put that in a will or not.

I'm not married anymore and I have no kids. I have no will, but I have already told my friend she inherits my cat.

Even when single with no kids though, it's important to have a will, so if something happens, they know what to do with you...IE; burial VS cremation, life support or none.

I am in the process of doing that and i am only 35.

When my kids were young, my brother and his wife were named as their guardians if anything happened to me.

My husband would be cared for by his daughter if anything happened to me.

We both have wills. We have ensured there would be as little confusion as possible about property if something happened to either of us.

We are in a stage of our lives when we think about wills. We both had previous marriages. Our children are grown. My husband has cancer now. This is all very real to us.

I have a will, and I have sufficient insurance to care for anyone left behind. My spouse is able to care for herself. All children are grown. I most definitely have a will. All my insurance policies have beneficiaries. My death insurance is taken care of fully. I've covered all corners, so to speak.

I'm married, but no kids. If my wife ever gets sick, I will take care of her. And no, I have not written out my will yet, I get to it someday.

Another Telepathic moment.....I caught up with myself this past week and flat out handled this by completing a living will. I had a very close call a few months ago so my family made me promise to do this. So, there ya have it!

My kids are grown. But no, I haven't formally made out a will. I have talked about it quite a bit lately, but haven't taken that step. Maybe your question will get the ball rolling.
Thanks.

We have no kids yet but hope to someday soon, but if I died b/f my husband and he was capable I would want him to care for our child. But if he was unable I would want his parents to take care of him and our child/children if I weren't around. If we both died I would want my mom & dad (assuming they are still alive) to take care of our children. If my parents are deceased, I'd want my in-laws to care for them. If both sets of parents are deceased, I'd want my friends Jen & Tommy to care for our child or children and they would b/c they are our best friends and we'd do it for them and their kids.

*We haven't written out our wills yet, but my husband and I plan to very soon. I know, no time like the present b/c noone knows what the future holds or is promised tomorrow*
