can my cousins be guardians?

[lonelyandsad]

my fiance was recently murdered,leaving behind 5 children.i ahve custody of my 9 younger siblings,ages 5-14(my parents both died,and i couldnt bear to see them seperated.) i was thinking of asking my cousin and his wife to assume guardianship if something should happen to me.how would we go about this,and would the state intervene? we do have azunts and uncles,but they have a lot of children to care for already(my cousin and his wife have 2) .thanks

would the state intervene?

And how do you expect an answer when we don't know what state you are talking about?

And how did you know that? Divine intervention?
