    Not so. A few idiots are making it up as they go along for their own self gratification.

    Indeed. You still have not answered the question of why you assert that wills cannot appoint guardians. You've been shown the law.

    What I have said is that any such appointment is subject to ratification by the Court. That may be mainly rubber stamping what has been arranged but the idea that one can effectively will one's children's future in the way without outside intervention is simply risible. That seems to be what you cannot accept.

    "What I have said is that any such appointment is subject to ratification by the Court."

    Which court? Granting what order? Sought by whom? Judged on what basis? Filling in which form?

    Guardianships appointed by wills stand on their own unless challenged. There is no need to have them "ratified", nor any way to do so. If they aren't challenged, they stand. The end. If you disagree, tell us which court to approach, and what to ask them to do. Hint: it isn't a special guardianship, and it isn't a child arrangements order.
