Adam Yauch's will reveals dilemma regarding naming a guardian

Guardianship of minor children is a real sticking point for parents who want to make wills that appoint an appropriate person to raise their children if the worst should happen and the parents are killed. I know of one couple who fought so much over this issue that they didn't actually end up making wills until their children were over the age of 18. That could have been a real disaster but luck was with them.

This article from www.Forbes.com talks about Adam Yauch's (of Beastie Boys fame) will and his problem naming a guardian for his daughter. But more than that, the article gives some excellent information for anyone thinking about who would be a proper guardian for a minor child. I highly recommend this article if guardianship is something you are currently working on, particularly if you and your spouse are not in agreement about the choice. Click here to read the article.
