Accepted Answer

You as legal guardian can appoint someone through a will to take over guardianship of the child. Additionally, you can get your son, if he is cooperative, to sign an affidavit/agreement naming your husband and older daughter as successor guardians to you in the event something happens to you. The best way to do this is to get the matter into court and get the court to approve the guardianship and the successor guardians because then in the event of something happening to you the only way it can be changed would be through order of the court.
