Not a nice thought I know, but something that has been plaguing me.

We hope to move to WA next year and we don't know anyone nor have any family there.

At the mo - if hubby and myself died my mum would get guardianship of my kids. However, if we've been in Oz a few years, kids would be schooling there, friends, made a life etc, and then we both died, I know that my mum would bring them back to UK which I wouldn't really want.

Has anyone else thought about this ? If so, come to any conclusions ?

Good question. I would see how you (and your children) go making friends once you have moved to Australia. It might be that you develop close friendships after a year or two, such that you would be happy if your children were looked after by them in the event of your untimely demise ...

Best regards.

Does anyone know if your UK will is valid once you become a P/R ???
