<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">Great answer. Thank you. Assuming dual-citizenship, what about the non-citizen, non-resident being appointed as guardian here in Washington? To arrange whatever
needs to be done to get the children from here to there. Can the non-citizen, non-resident, serve as guardian?

<p class="ecxMsoNormal">An issue will be the citizenship of the children. 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.).</p>

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!</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;"></span></p>
