How do I go about changing the name of my legal guardian on my will?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
First, the nomination of a guardian in your will (and I assume you mean a guardian for your children, if you pass away) is just your nomination, it's not binding on the court. The natural father will have the "inside track" at getting custody of the children. If someone is to get guardianship, they will have to petition the court to be named guardian. So, for this change only, it might be okay to create a new document that says, "I nominated X as guardian for my children in my will. I have changed my mind. I now wish to nominate Y as guardian." Sign that in the presence of two witnesses, at least one of whom will be able to appear in the guardianship proceeding. Date it. Keep it with your will. Do not make any marks on the original will. You can't change it by marking it up; you may revoke it. That's my suggestion. I haven't done any legal research, this is just an answer on a website. No lawyer-client relationship is created. Estate planning is not that expensive, and you might be able to find a lawyer in your area willing to let you pay over time. A good, lawyer-created estate plan is better, and since you'll be gone when your will needs to "speak," you want it to be right.

Am I responsible for my dead husband's hospital and doctor bills?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
First, if any property of your husband will go through probate (not jointly owned) then the probate estate should handle his debts. Second, if no probate, the answer is probably. As with any legal question, always best to have legal advice from a lawyer who represents you, and is looking out for your interests. The general rule in Oregon is that spouses are liable for expenses of the family, and these would generally include medical expenses. Also, in general if you inherit property you are liable for the decedent's debts to the extent of the value of what you inherited. That said, hospitals and medical providers will normally work with you. Some have deals with no-interest credit providers; others will reduce or write off their bills. The Oregon State Bar has a lawyer referral service. You can get referred to some estate lawyers who will meet with you for a consultation at a set fee.
