Unborn baby survives mother hit by van

What happens if you do not have a Will and you have a new baby? Well that's what a family in New York City is about to find out. What a tragedy - a pregnant woman struck by a van/bus and she died but the doctors were able to save her unborn child. Well, with out a Will, her husband will have to file an Administration proceeding. If the father's child was not around or deceased also, then it would be up to Surrogate's Court to decide who takes care of that child and the child's money. Don't leave that up to strangers. Have a Will. In a Will you can declare the guardian of your child, the trustee of the money in your Estate that is going to take care of your child. Why not have a Will. Its also less expensive.
