[WSBAPT] joint custody/guardianship nomination in will

[Sharon Rutberg]

Good morning, everyone -

 

Wondering if anyone has worked on estate planning with a divorced client
with minor children. My client has joint custody, children live with her 50%
of the time. Can she nominate a guardian to take over her 50% of custody if
she should die - and expect a court to accept her nomination -- rather than
having children's father take 100%?

 

Grateful, as always.

 

Sharon
