How can I guarantee that all the assets my spouse inherited from our marriage go to our child and not to the new spouse if I die first?

Estate Planning lawyer at James G. Maguire
There is not much you can do to control your ex-wife's assets. The minor child will be a forced heir until he or she reaches the age of 24, and would be entitled to a portion of her assets.

Can I contest a Will that my father left giving all assets to a nephew-in-law?

Roman Aminov
Answered by attorney Roman Aminov
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Roman Aminov
You have every right to contest you father's will based on factors such as undue influence, duress, lack of capacity, or improper execution. You should speak to an estates attorney who can analyze the will and prepare objections to it.

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

You can execute a Codicil which is a modification/amendment to the original Will. This will accomplish your goal without having to redo your entire Will. However, a Codicil has to be executed with the same formalities as a Last Will and Testament. You should use a lawyer.
