yes, it would be helpful to appoint a guardian in the event that you and your husband die etc. Parents' rights are paramoount under the Troxel decision. You could apoint a separate guardian for the child's estate too.

yes. and, depending on what you own, it may be fairly simple and inexpensive to have a properly drawn Will prepared.
call me if you would like me to prepare a Will for you and your husband. since you have children, this is something that you should really have done.
