This sounds like a truly tragic situation, both women dying.

You will want full custody of your daughter, but I will need more information to answer your question. I can not tell whether you will need a Court order or not.

Give me a call, and I will help you out.

Just based upon what you told me, if GM dies, you should have full custody. Unless and until someone files a motion, I don't see how anyone has a claim to the child.
