If you have minor children, this document is a must. However, it is often overlooked.

A Pre-Need Guardian for a minor is a written document, pursuant to Section 744.3046, Florida Statutes, in which you designate someone to become your children's guardian if you ever become incapacitated or die. A court will appoint the person named in the Pre-Need Guardian for a minor, especially when the document is filed with the Clerk of Court, unless the person named as the guardian is un-fit to serve.  For example, a drug addict, alcoholic, criminal, etc.

This document, generally, will not deny a natural parent their right to be a custodian.
