Except in extreme cases, it is unlikely a court of law would give guardianship to anyone other than an ex-spouse, in the event that a primary parent has passed away. However, the primary parent's estate is controlled by their own, personal wishes. Therefore, it is important to have your estate laid out clearly in the case of a divorce so that the estate is split as it should be per your requests. If you have questions about wills, trusts, or general estate planning law reach out to Attorney Russ Nesevich of Nesevich Law, LLC in Moorestown and Manalapan, NJ today by calling (856) 439-6223.
