How do my husband and I legally go about appointing someone as guardian if something should happen to us?

We are currently 9 months pregnant with our first and we want to make sure if, God forbid, something happen to both of us, someone we feel comfortable with would have custody of our son. We live in New Jersey I don't know if that makes a difference or not....How do my husband and I legally go about appointing someone as guardian if something should happen to us?
See an attorney and draw up a will and you can appoint a guardian for your child in your will.How do my husband and I legally go about appointing someone as guardian if something should happen to us?
the easiest way is to consult a lawyer and get a will. A will should include how all your stuff (and money) is distributed and specify who would be the guardian of any of your children who are under 18. (if a child turns 18 before you die, they don't need a guardian since they're a legal adult)





Most lawyers will charge around $500 for the whole process.
You talk about who you would want to take care of your child. You speak to those ones, to make sure they are okay with it and they have the same values, etc as you. Then you go to a lawyer and talk to him about it, and have a will made up, including your decision.
Amend your will to reflect who you'd like to have your children. If you don't have a will, now's a great time to make one.
here's a hint, it starts with the letter....... Attorney!!!!
