What Kind of will do I need

Hi, I am going into Surgery next month and have 3 minor children. I am a widow and I would like to make sure that in the case of my death that my children will go to a certain person. Can you tell me how to go about this. I cant really afford to hire a lawyer. Thank You Tammy

First, even if you were not going into surgery, you should have a Will. Accidents can happen to anyone, at any time.

Second, in a Will you can NOMINATE a guardian of your minor children, especially if there is no surviving spouse. The probate court would then USUALLY confirm that -- it does not have to, and might not if, say, the person you selected was not suitable in the eyes of the court, or the children strongly objected, or other relatives -- such as grandparents -- strongly objected.

A form Will is available under Forms at http://FreeAdvice.com - one is free, some are state specific and cost a few dollars. You should ask a lawyer's advice, and make sure the Will is properly witnessed.
