Q: My sister's passed away leaving behind 3 kids she had no Will. Her friend has 2 of the kids. I want the kids
She has a court date but that's all I know. What can I do
A: What you need to do is hire an attorney if you want to fight for guardianship of the kids.
Gary Johnston Dean and Jessica Brown agree with this answer
A:
I'm sorry to hear about your loss.
Yes, as the other attorney stated, it would be best to hire an attorney here. This involves more complex procedures especially if anyone argues that you should not be given custody of the children. Searching for a guardianship or adoption attorney should give you a good place to start.
I wish you the best.
