[WSBAPT] Non-citizen/non-resident guardian

[Sarah Jael Dion]

Just to add a bit to what Daniel said, you also need to consider access to healthcare in the country to which the child would be emigrating.

If the children are U.S. citizens without dual citizenship for the country of the proposed guardian, then it would be very difficult and not practical to provide for this arrangement.  If the children are citizens of the other country, then arrangement is possible.  However, a meaningful discussion of the practical issues of relocating children to another country should occur (language and cultural fluency, educational system differences, social adjustment/friendships, etc.).

Would you appoint a US guardian but say in the will that the wish is the children reside with the non-citizen, non-resident, perhaps under a guardianship in that country. All thoughts and perspectives appreciated!
