Guardianship of Minor
questions & answers
Question: A few years ago my husband and i went to a lawyer and went through the process of appointing a legal guardian for our children, if we should happen to pass away. We have the paperwork at home, in our safe. However, the couple we appointed at the time is not who we want now. What do we have to do to get it changed? We were told we could just write who we want now on a different piece of paper and get that notarized. Is that correct?
Answer:
Not necessarily. You should check with an attorney before attempting to "modify" the documents. If you do it improperly, the court may refuse to recognize the amendments.
