[WSBAPT] [SPAM] Guardian of minor child

[ROBERT MILLSAP]

I would put it in the Will at a minimum to add gravitas and corroboration
to the person your client would like to see become legal Guardian.  I
would even add it to the Powers of Attorney.

 

I do think you will need some family law attorney to give you advise
though.  I am thinking a Will is not going to terminate a surviving
parent’s rights.  I think you will need some third party custody action
under RCW 26.10 to secure authority for client’s choice.  I do not do
Domestic Relations but maybe someone who does can educate us here.

Subject: [WSBAPT] [SPAM] Guardian of minor child

 

I have a PC who will be dying in the near future. She has a minor child
and would like to name a guardian in her will. She claims the child's
father, who is still alive, will not contest a guardian and/or adoption of
the child. What would be the best way to handle this in the will? Should
she nominate a guardian and give an explanation of why the child should
not go to the father in her will? 

And then after she passes, I am assuming the guardians would have to
petition the court and if the father was willing, he would release his
parental rights?
