[WSBARP] poa/wills - naming professional guardian

[RebeccaWiess]

Guardians are appointed by judges. Money in wills is entrusted to trustees
when the beneficiary is not trustworthy. So what is client trying to achieve
in the estate planning?

Subject: [WSBARP] poa/wills - naming professional guardian

 

I have a client that wants to name "a professional guardian" in her estate
plan as an alternate to the one individual she's named.  I imagine without
naming anyone specifically, a POA may not hold up but she is just adamant
that she does not want her children to be named and does not want anyone
from any kind of assisted living facility to "be in charge of this".  Any
thoughts aside from specifically naming an individual professional guardian
and hoping they are able and willing at the time of need?  Or thoughts on
how to exclude people from having any say whatsoever in the distribution of
an estate or matters requiring a POA?  Any sample language if anyone has
done anything like this would be much appreciated!
