of a well thought out estate plan, you should consider whether

Although it is not required, the preneed guardianship
declaration may be filed with the Clerk of the Court.
However, regardless of whether the declaration was previously filed, if and when a Petition to Determine Incapacity is filed with the Court, production of the declaration in any incapacity proceeding shall constitute a rebuttable presumption that the preneed guardian is entitled to serve as guardian of the incapacitated person.

Unlike in the case of an adult, the declaration must be filed with
the Clerk of the Court. Then, if a petition for guardianship for the
minor is filed, the Clerk shall produce the declaration.
If the preneed guardian is found to be qualified to serve as guardian, the preneed guardian shall assume the duties of guardian immediately upon an adjudication of incapacity of the last surviving parent or the death of the last surviving parent.
If the preneed guardian is found to be qualified to serve as guardian, the preneed guardian shall assume the duties of guardian immediately upon an adjudication of incapacity of the last surviving parent or the death of the last surviving parent.
Of course, the Court shall not be bound to appoint the preneed guardian if the preneed guardian is found to be unqualified to
serve as guardian. However, if the preneed guardian is found to be qualified, the preneed guardian shall assume the duties of
guardian immediately upon an adjudication of incapacity.
