    Contact a Lawyer. The easiest thing is to make sure it is stipulated in the Will. Do you have a Will?

    That will most likely be a custody case - it would be safest to make the person already legal custodian before the mother dies.

    That will be most respectfull to the mother. You could also opt for adoption - but I think the procedure is more difficult and there are countries (like the nehterlands) that refuse people the right (even in such cases) to chose the adoptive parents.

    Which is rediculous.

  • Get with a lawyer and make provisions in your will. Notify the ones you want to have custody and make sure everything is taken care of before death.

    Its called a will. Included in it is the "provision of care section" that you want. Its specific wording would vary depending on where you are.
