We did ! We did three , all on my side . With thespecific knowkedge and statement that if my mom or dad would be too old for guardianship , they ' d still have the best interest of BabyKraken in mind . But there ' s some siblings of me and my SO walking around as well , so there ' d have to be a massacre before we ' d be out of guardians . And even then , she stays excluded . In fact , this whole thing started not so much because we wanted to exclude her well , we did , but . but because we wanted to appoint a few guardians or godparents for in case of emergency . But you are right , it ' s very important to choose successors . They should make that mandatory , or more easily doable , is my opinion . But then , I might be biased because my rapey granny tried to get custody when I was 9 so there is that .
