Does guardian have access to estate to support kids?

Anonymous
Leaving money/life insurance directly to minor children is a terrible idea because then it will be under a court-appointed guardianship until they turn 18 and then the kids have the whole thing with no restrictions. There are a variety of tax planning devices besides the ILIT to deal with life insurance issues.
