If You Did Nothing: Who Would the Law Allow to Raise Your Child?

If You Did Nothing: Who Would the Law Allow to Raise Your Child?

Many parents believe they have a plan in place.

They have chosen someone they trust, had the conversation, and named a godparent.

But if something unexpected happened is it guaranteed the godparent can step in?

This Coffee & Conversation is designed to explore one important question:

Would the person you chose actually be able to step in?

This is a relaxed, small-group conversation designed to provide clear, practical information in a setting that feels approachable.

Who Should Attend

Parents of minor children who want to better understand:

• Who would legally step in if something unexpected happened

• How their current assumptions align with Maryland law

• What steps they may want to consider next
