What would happen to my child if me and her father died? Can we make that decision in a will?

Re: custody
Without a will, courts will have to decide, in what often is an expensive process, who would be guardian. With a will, you can designate a guardian (and provide better arrangements as to inheritance as well). If you're in the Atlanta area, complete a worksheet for a will at www.glenashman.com and then call me to discuss details.

You and your husband should each have a will. It is also a good idea to have durable powers of attorney for health care and/or living wills. My firm handles simple wills as inexpensively as possible. Please feel free to contact me in the event that you wish to pursue this option.
