My client, Charles XXX, died about 1 month ago. He was one of my oldest brother's best friends going back 60 years. Charles' wife died a year ago. They left 3 daughters: 24, 21 and 17. That means these girls have lost both their parents in just one year. The 24 y.o. is the nominated guardian for the 17 y.o. (The Will I drafted). She will turn 18 in about 9 months, but there's a CD for $200K and Social Security money she can't get without a guardianship. There is very limited cash right now as the 24 y.o. has to quit her job and move from Colorado to L.A.
