Our robust Scion Safeguard Plan creates a plan to protect your children. It includes the following documents:

 

Nomination of a Short-Term Guardian:
This document allows you to name a temporary guardian who can care for your children for up to one year. It’s essential if your long-term guardian is temporarily unavailable or needs time to travel to your children during your incapacitation. This nomination also ensures coverage if you or your spouse must travel for work or military service.

Nomination of a Long-Term Guardian:
Typically included in a last will and testament, this designation names the primary caregiver for your minor children. The long-term guardian assumes responsibility for your children until they reach adulthood, ensuring continuity of care in your absence.

Nomination of a Healthcare Surrogate for a Minor:
This document appoints a trusted individual to make medical decisions for your children when you cannot. It becomes especially crucial in emergencies, such as a family car accident, where both parents may be incapacitated, and immediate medical decisions are required.

Directions for Guardians and Healthcare Directives for Minors:
This document gives someone the authority to make decisions for your children if you’re unavailable. It ensures they have all necessary information and follow your specific wishes. You can include legally enforceable instructions that limit the guardian’s authority and outline essential healthcare details, such as allergies or medical conditions.

Confidential Exclusion of Guardian:
If there’s someone you believe should not care for your children, this document formally excludes them from guardianship. It informs the courts of your decision, protecting your children from being placed under the care of an unsuitable individual.

Babysitter Instructions:
This document provides essential information for a babysitter in case you’re unable to return home as planned. It includes details on who to contact and what steps to take if you cannot be reached.
