Guardianship Planning for Surrey Parents

One of the most important decisions Surrey parents make: who will care for your children if you can't?

Without a Will:

BC courts will appoint a guardian for your children, which may not align with your wishes. Family disputes can arise, causing stress during an already difficult time.

With a Will:

You designate guardians, provide guidance on raising your children, and establish trusts to ensure financial support for their care and education.

Every Surrey parent with minor children needs a will with guardian designations.Don't leave this critical decision to the courts.

Surrey Family Success Story

Young Family in Fleetwood

"We're a young family with two kids under 5 and just bought our first Surrey home. WealthX helped us create a comprehensive estate plan we could actually afford, including wills, guardian designations, and life insurance to cover the mortgage and our kids' education."

Knowing our children would be cared for by people we trust, with the financial resources they need, gives us incredible peace of mind. It was easier and more affordable than we expected.
