What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
I hope this is in the proper forum, if not, I apologize and will move it.
My husband lost his job when the factory closed, so we are limited on funds. I was wondering if there is any way we can create a binding will on our own, or must we see an attorney for this? We don't have much, just the contents of our home, and several vehicles, all paid off.
My second question is about our children. We have six children, and do not want custody to go to anyone in our family. My parents would respect our values, but are not in good health and do not make very much money. None of my husband's family respect our values at all, and we absolutely do not want any of them raising our children. I have a very dear friend, whom we would want to raise them if something were to happen to us, they love them as they do their own, have the same values, and have told us they would gladly take them. Is there a way we could make that future certain for our children if something were to happen to us? Would a will be enough, and would there be a way to keep my in laws from fighting it, or winning if they decide to fight it (we are fairly certain someone in his family, or all of them, would try).
Thank you so much for any help!
