Last Will and Testament
Article II · Guardian
Should it become necessary for a guardian of the person of any minor child of mine to be appointed, I hereby nominate and appoint my sister, Lucía Alvarez, to serve as such guardian, and should she fail or cease to act for any reason, I nominate my friend, Priya Nair, as successor guardian.
If I can’t look after my children, I want my sister, Lucía Alvarez, to raise them. If she can’t, I choose my friend, Priya Nair.
Same meaning, different words.
