Re: Will change

A new will should be executed under VA law in order to change the guardian designation. An experienced estate planning attorney should be able to handle this under VA law. Please note that my legal services are available only with a signed engagement agreement in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics applicable to attorneys licensed in the state of VA. If I can be of any help to you or people you know, give me a call as I would be pleased to provide legal support.
