What do we do as their children to claim some type of ownership to this property?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
You need to file a petition for probate and possibly a partition action. There is no way around it so see a probate attorney immediately.

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

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jayne L. Sebby (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
At the time your will is read, you won't have any need for a guardian. However, if you are naming a guardian for your minor children or for a person who is not able to care for him/herself, then you can add a codicil to your will making the change. However, for something this important, I would recommend drafting a new will. It shouldn't cost much for the person who drafted your current will to pull up the document on his/her computer and substitute a new name.
