When parents pass away without naming a guardian, who decides what happens to their children? In this episode, Nick explains why leaving this decision blank in your will—or not having a will at all—can leave your kids’ future in the hands of the probate court.


Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:


👶 Not naming a guardian leaves decisions to the court


📝 A “C+ choice” is better than no choice at all


🔄 Use a reverse draft to narrow guardian options


⏳ Revisit decisions every 3–4 years
