Do we have to wait for my brother to sell my mothers home before reading the will?

No. The power of attorney ceases to have legal effect on your mother's death. He has no legal authority to do anything using the power of attorney. You should proceed to have the will probated and the personal representative (executor) can sell the home.

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

Answered by attorney Mark E. Bredow (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Bredow Law PLC
Yes. You may create an amendment to your will, called a Codicile (Cod - ih - sill). It changes parts of your will without changing all of your will. Or, you can create an entirely new will that replaces your old will. Wills are not difficult to create and an attorney should not charge you too much. Something as important as naming a guardian should not be delayed over a few dollars. Or, you may draft your own will and tear up the old one. Michigan law has a statutory will. It is a form that you may complete that is valid. I recommend that you consult an attorney to help you.

Your legal guardian? The legal guardian proposed for your children? Yes there a simple and inexpensive ways to make such changes by codicil, but you really should seek counsel at least one more time as you appear a bit confused and really need to do this correctly to have your wishes honored.
