The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a number of children to be removed from the home if parents incapacitated by COVID-19. I worry what would happen if I can’t care for my child because of the virus.

Many families have now considered earlier than expected idea of estate planning. One of the most important things to consider is naming temporary guardian or caregiver for their child.
