Brenda Baltrusch, Career Trust Officer at Large National Bank

Every parent faces the often gut-wrenching question: “Who will raise my child in the event of a disaster?” As
difficult as it is to focus on dire possibilities, selecting a guardian for one’s minor child is an essential part of every
parent’s will. Parents who fail to act leave their child’s guardian unprepared and may leave their child’s future,
routines, and traditions up to strangers to decide.

If you could spend a few moments now that would make it possible to dramatically help your child
navigate a profoundly difficult time later, would you?
