[quote=Anonymous]Don't just leave it up to the courts.. In my state, if the parents do not specify a guardian and both die, then the children are automatically sent to foster care while family applies/waits for court approval to care for them. Even if you have a twin sister who lives with you/your spouse/children (for example!) and helps care for your children, and has lived with you for years, still - if you die without having taken care of this,she will not be their caretaker until the court approves it and the children will be removed and possibly spend a long time, many months in foster care til court works its way through your case. It stinks. (I don't live in the DC area but FWIW this happens to lots of people!)[/quote]
