    Just wondering what would happen to our child if anything happened to me and her dad, our parents aren't alive and even though there is family we dont see much of them. People keep telling us we should go to a solicitor and sign some kind of guardianship thing, we have made our wills, but that was way before the baby was born. I dont fancy paying a solicitor again just to add a bit to the will surely everything will go to the child in the unlikely event of something happening. We have a relative in mind that we would like the child to live with should anything happen so if I was to write up something and we both sign it and put it with the wills how legal would that be? the reason I ask this is because there is a certain relative we dont want the child to go to

    TBH you're really going to need to go to a solicitor for this one. It will make life so much easier for you (no pun intended).
