A 60-minute live workshop for Pennsylvania parents of minor children. Walk out knowing how to legally name a guardian for your kids, plus the three quiet traps that invalidate most parents' choices.
You meant to do it after the first kid. Then again before the trip last spring. It keeps sliding to next month because the choice is hard, and because nobody ever sat down and walked you through what a guardian decision actually involves.
This workshop does that. One hour. Plain English. You leave with a decision, not a homework assignment.
The role, the limits, and what happens between the 3 AM phone call and a court appointment, so you pick someone for the right reasons.
Verbal agreements don't count. We cover exactly what document you need, what it must say, and how to make it legally binding in your state.
Why naming a guardian without naming a financial plan creates a different kind of mess, plus the simple structure that solves it.
How to have the conversation without it being weird. Scripts, timing, and what to tell your kids (and what to wait on).
We'll walk through each one in detail. What it looks like, why it fails, and the fix.
Telling your sister at Thanksgiving is not a legal nomination. If it isn't in a will, a Pennsylvania judge decides, and your sister may not be who they pick.
The person you'd trust most isn't always the person whose life can absorb your kids. Picking on emotion alone is how guardianships fall apart in year two.
Your guardian choice from when the kids were toddlers may be the wrong choice now. We cover when to revisit, plus the one life event that should always trigger a review.
Estate planning attorney and founder of the Law Office of Brian Donovan. Admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar. Built this workshop after hearing the same question from new-parent clients on repeat: where do we even start?
Direct. Plain English. Won't talk down to you and won't pretend the choice is easier than it is.
Free for Pennsylvania parents of minor children. Live virtual webinar with a replay sent the next day if you can't attend in person.

Yes. It's a teaching workshop, not a sales webinar. If you want to work with us after, we'll tell you how at the end, in one slide. That's it.
Register anyway. The workshop is recorded, and you'll get a link to the replay within 24 hours so you can watch on your own time. Live attendance gets you Q&A access, but the teaching itself doesn't change.
Strongly recommended. The guardian decision works best when both parents are in the same room hearing the same thing. One registration covers both of you.
Yes. Brian is admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar, and the workshop covers Pennsylvania guardianship law, document requirements, and court process. If you live outside PA, the high-level framework still applies, but you'll need a licensed attorney in your own state for the legal mechanics.
Bring it. A surprising number of "I already named a guardian" documents don't actually do what the parents think they do. We'll cover the most common gaps.
One slide at the end with how to book a planning session if you want one. No high-pressure pitch, no upgrade tiers in your inbox afterward.
