This question may be more thoroughly answered if you post it in the criminal law or criminal defense section of AVVO. Probate is, generally, the area of law dealing with people's estates once they pass away or if they are incapacitated. As a general answer, a typo does not make a legal document invalid. There are certain exceptions that a qualified criminal defense attorney can better explain to you. For instance, there are circumstances in which a special type of objection to an...

The court would investigate your allegations about the current guardian and...
I am sorry to hear about this difficult situation. The first place the law will look regarding custody of your minor children is the father of those children. If you are married to the father, if you are separated from the father, or if there have been any legal proceedings granting any rights to the father - that is often the first place that the department of family and children's services will look. If you want your father to have guardianship over your children, he should contact a...
