Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Virginia
I have full custody of my daughter. I'm preparing to make a will and would like to designate my brother and his wife as her legal guardians when I die. Can i do this or would custody automaticallygo back to her mother? Thanks.

You can do that, but the child's mother would still have the right to be the guardian unless she is proven to be an unfit parent.
