Guardianship 101 by Little Steps Asia
Learn all you need to know about guardianship and how best to protect your children in Hong Kong.
Especially for expat parents living in Hong Kong or abroad, it is extremely important to understand the need to have a Last Will & Testament in place, and in addition to a Will, guardianship deeds to protect your children and ensure good provisions have been made for their future.
Any minor, a child under the age of 18 must have a guardian/s appointed for them who will be responsible for them in case there is an event where both parents were to pass away.
Did you know? Without a Will, your child may not be in the care of the right person.
