Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Living Will and Child Custody Matters

My husband and I have a 3 year old daughter. We do not have a living will. If we should perish in an accident, what would happen to our daughter? We both have large families, would it be a court battle to see who would take care of her and our estate?
