Am just in process of sorting out details for our wills before contacting a solicitor and have a couple of questions, if anyone could help me please:
- the advice seems to be to only have two guardians in order to keep things simple. My dh has suggested his parents as they have a large house and one is already retired so it would be easier for them to look after the kids. I know that guardians don't automatically look after the kids but would make the decision as to who would be best to do so and the chances are they would discuss this with my parents first although they would not be required to do so. However I would prefer it if one of each of our parents where the guardians so that both our families would definitely be involved in the decision. Is this is sensible suggestion?
- is it OK to have three executors? I want to have dh as this would be sensible if I died first, my brother in law as he lives close by so it would be easier for him to sort things out and my sister as if I died at the same time as dh someone close to me would also be involved in sorting out stuff. I would ask just dh and my sister but she lives miles away so it would be difficult for her to sort stuff out if she had to do it all on her own.
Thanks very much.
