What is the name of your state?California
My brother has a 11 year old daughter and a 9 year old son. He has joint custody with the mother, but my brother and the kids live with me. I want to adopt them with my brother retaining his father rights. The mother is ok with giving up her rights to me. What is fastest way for this adoption process. I am getting married in October and would like to have this completed before then.
Also, I want to protect my equity without getting a prenuptial agreement. How can I do this? WOuld a living trust to the children work?
THanks,
Elvia
