Can I name guardians for my children?

Updated October 27, 2026

If you have children under 18, your Will can name guardians to look after them if no parent with parental responsibility is still alive. It is worth speaking to the people you have in mind first.

This is general information about the law in England and Wales, not advice about your circumstances.
