Yes, you can appoint guardians for your minor children in your Will. One of the advantages of having a Will is that you can choose the guardian of your minor children. If you have a child below the age of 18, it is best if you specify the appointment of a guardian in your Will. Should your natural guardian (ex: spouse) predecease you, your appointed guardian will step in and take care of your minor children. If you failed to name your legal guardian, the court will appoint a guardian for your minor children, and the person appointed may not be your preference.
