ANSWER:
The document/form you need is called a "WILL." Needs to be in proper legal form, using correct legal wording and properly signed and witnessed. You will probably need two of them, one for each parent. Best advice: consult with a lawyer. Secondary advise: Buy a computer program for do-it-yourself will drafting.
