Re: how to legally pick a guardian

You need to have a Will drafted for you, and in that document, you will not only specify who will receive what items from your estate but you will also name who you wish to serve as your child's guardian.

Because these issues are so important, this needs to be done by an experienced qualified attorney to avoid any problems/complications down the road.

If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
