[WSBAPT] [SPAM] Guardian of minor child

[Ashley Raymond]

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?
