General Parental Guidance
Organizations Providing General Guidance on Child Health and Safety: State laws vary on powers of attorney, wills, and guardianship. Parents should consider drawing up powers of attorney, wills and guardianship papers -- as well as life insurance on themselves and perhaps a living will -- in order to best provide for children and spouses in the event of a tragedy or difficult situation. And both spouses should understand and have access to all of these documents and all financial information. Parents also should be aware that laws differ from state to state, and crossing state lines might cause a problem with documents already in force. An attorney or other professional can help make sure that all documents are up to date and legally applicable. Can't afford an attorney? There are Internet kits and how-to books available, but -- as always -- make sure you do your homework and buy carefully. Kits might not have complete or up-to-date information.
