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

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.

Is it necessary to have an attorney to do last will and testament?

Estate Planning lawyer at James T. Weiner, P.C.
It is not necessary to have an attorney do a will. However, self help wills and fill in the blank wills are fraught with issues. ... do it wrong and her assets could be tied up in probate for a long time.. The question is what does she want.. and does she actually need a will By LAW her assets are distributed to her spouse if living (50% if she has a children with another father), the rest to her children in equal amounts .. then to their kids, etc.So she may not need a will if she does not object to this distribution.

Please be guided by that attorney's advice.  The court may well accept an affidavit that the current executor has gone missing.
