Re: guardianship of minor child
I will have to assume you're a single parent. Otherwise the surviving parent takes over.
If something happens to me means death. You'll need to put your desires into a will. You also should allow for the fact that something might happen to the other daughter before it happens to you.
As a practical matter before getting a will you should check with your other daughter to see if she is willing and so she is aware of your wishes.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
