If you have children, guardianship guidance can be one of the most valuable parts of your letter. It can explain daily routines, important relationships, health needs, education hopes, faith or cultural practices, and the kind of home life you would want preserved.
Keep this section compassionate and realistic. Guardians may need flexibility, but your words can help them understand what mattered most to you.
Before you write
- Explain routines and relationships.
