Are provisions for the care and guardianship of minor children usually provided for in a will?
In many cases, a will does contain provisions for minor children. However, a court can overrule these provisions with a specific reason or a justifiable challenge of guardianship from another interested party or family member. The judge may also find the designated guardian is incompetent or otherwise inappropriate due to character issues. A judge will determine final guardianship, even though the decedent’s wishes are given first consideration.
