We haven't decided who gets Em if we die while she's still a minor. On one hand, my sister is a great mom and Em loves her. On the other hand, my brother and his wife live a lifestyle that's closer to Joe and I and Em loves them, too.
Anyone here want her? She comes with all our DVDs and comic books.

When my sibs and I were of an age where it was relevant, I saw in my parents' will that in the event our custody was directed to my "uncles" Roy and Lawrence. I've wondered a bit at how that would have gone over in a late 70s/early 80s context.
OTOH, there wasn't much if any blood family left by that point - my bad grandma, and my uncle Jimmy, who now is fine but at the time was kind of a screw-up and unlikely to make waves.
Getting my husband to make a will and a guardianship plan was not fun. He hates thinking about end of life stuff, whereas I remind him every 6 months (whenever I see the dentist) to make sure he asks the undertaker for the gold out of my mouth.

I really really need to get a will done.

For folks living in Virginia, my sister says that Virginia courts accept handwritten wills as binding.
