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

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.

If the IRS has a lien against your brother-in-law, the lien could end up being against any property he owns, including anything your mother-in-law would leave to him in a will.
