Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan
Legal Guardianship
My brother and sister-in-law asked me to be the Godmother of their 2 children. They want it so if something were to happen to them, I obtain custody of the children. How do I make that legal?

Generally parents make a will and nominate a guardian in the will should both parents pass away. While it is not binding on the court it is the most effective way to accomplish what you want.

Re: Legal Guardianship
Our office can assist the natural parents in drafting the wills so they can express their wishes about you obtaining custody after their death. The wishes will certainly be considered in making a final custody decision.
