Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
Last will re: minor child in guardianship
My husband and I have legal guardianship of our 7 year old grandson. We want to make a last will and testament. Can we name someone to assume guardianship as you would with a minor child of your own. We don't want him to become a ward of the state should something happen to us.
Thank you for your consideration.

Yes you can. But, just as is true when the parents choose, the naming of guardians is a nomination, not an appointment. It is still subject to the court's approval.
