Well then, can you answer the other questions I asked?Content said:You can't will children, no matter what people have tried before it doesn't work. They are human beings and not property.

And again, the COURT has exclusive jurisdiction over children. Guess what genius, the answer is about six responses below this diatribe.shellandty said:Not saying to "will" out children as if they were property. Simply saying "name a legal guardian"!
Absolutely Can not hurt the situation.
Then mom has sole legal custody.bononos said:Out of curiosity...
Let's say Dad passed away in 2003 in a car accident.
Then mom can begin the process of a standby guardianship for which the court has jurisdiction.Mom is dying of breast cancer...given 1 month.
NoCan't mom "will" the children?
If mom is successful in completing the standby guardianship before she croaks, then the standby guardians will have the children and all legal rights and responsibilities that attach.Who gets them? Who decides?
Your OPINION is worthless. There is no situation where a will conveying 'ownership' of a child has been upheld in any court in this country.shellandty said:Belizebreeze:

This is a matter of LAW, not opinion. Ones opinion doesn't mean diddly when the LAW has addressed the situation. In case you haven't noticed, this website isn't for the free exchange of opinion, it's for LEGAL advice. Note the difference.
I found this though:BelizeBreeze said:Then mom has sole legal custody.

No
If mom is successful in completing the standby guardianship before she croaks, then the standby guardians will have the children and all legal rights and responsibilities that attach.
IF the standby guardians are so inclined, they can file for custody and/or adoption. HOWEVER, they have no special rights than other family members in attaining status only that the court recognizes their legal right and it is temporary until the court decides the best option for the child.
Explain to me how my opinion of "drawing up a will and naming a legal guardian " is IN DIRECT CONFLICT WITH THE LAW?"when people's opinions are in direct conflict with the law then BB is quite correct to address that and offer the correct information- otherwise posters would be getting inaccurate advice
Correct as far as property is concerned. The parents can name a guardian or trustee for the child's financial matters which is quite a different matter than appointing someone for the child's "Person".bononos said:I found this though:
What are the reasons to have a will?
Parents can name those they want to be the guardian of the person and the trustee of the property of their minor children.

We are not discussing the 'issue'...shellandty said:Yes I have another opinion. Thanks for asking!

I suggested "the will" merely to give the grandparen's a mere chance and at least make the guy fight for this baby he has never seen, in addition to buying them some time in the event (god forbid) that something should happen to their daughter.
Look how much time we've spent just discussing this issue ourselves.
But, this is stating both financial and person, by this statement a guardian of the "person" can be appointed by a will as well as a guardian can be appointed for the financial aspects.BelizeBreeze said:Correct as far as property is concerned.

As I said before, you can do just about anyting in a will. That does NOT mean it is a valid order for the court to follow.bononos said:But, this is stating both financial and person, by this statement a guardian of the "person" can be appointed by a will as well as a guardian can be appointed for the financial aspects.
