Mr. Goodwin is everything you want in an attorney: professional, honest, thorough, and genuinely caring. He always explains things clearly, so I understood exactly what was happening and what to expect next. His attention to detail and persistence really stood out. Looking back, I feel lucky to have found him. He guided me through the whole process expertly, and I deeply appreciate all his hard work. Would definitely recommend him to anyone needing legal help.
In New York, there is no binding mechanism to designate a guardian for your child in the event of your disability. You can designate a guardian in your will, but that only works in the event of your death. The best we can do is put together a witnessed letter that states your intent and leave it with the potential guardian you would chose, so that they can present the witnessed letter to the court if the need ever arises. The overarching standard in proceedings for guardianship for children is the best interest of the child.
