Answer 1

you made no indication of why you are afraid of the lawyers.  You didn't say what they would be after you for. Chill out

Answer 2

Shouldn't the biological father be taking care of the child?...

Answer 3

do whatever you can to take him into your own hands.  maybe work something out with his great grandparents.  they aren't healthy enough to take care of him.

sorry to hear of your loss.

best of luck with this situation.

Answer 4

My condolences on your loss.

If your daughter didn't have a will specifically assigning custody of her son, you will need a lawyer to get custody, if that's what you want. Call some firms and you may be able to find one that will take your case pro bono. Lawyers can be pricey but if you really feel that your grandson is not in a good situation, you should look at what is best for his future. You might also want to check with Social Services in your area. They can help check out the situation. I know it's a lot to deal with right now. Good luck and be strong.  

Answer 5

why would the great grand parents of gotten him?  Where were you??  Didn't your daughter see that you were fit?  

Are you only wanting him, because he now get's his parents social security??    

I feel sorry for this kid.  You obviously can't care for him, so may be ask the state to come in and put him in a decent foster home.

Answer 6

Some of you people need to read these questions better, in the heading it mentions the kids father is also passed.

I agree with the one above me. At the cost of sounding too rude, where are you in all this? Why would elderly, sick _great_ grandparents get the job next, instead of the child's grandparent(s) (you)?

Answer 7

go see the grandparents and go talk to them you need to see what kind of conditions this child is living in and tell them you want to raise him i sense there is more to this story but its your duty to go and see what is going on and it sounds like you want to

Answer 8

I'd work hard to find his bio father! It's what's best for the child anyway, unless circumstances are unhealthy and unsafe.  

Answer 9

take care of them at any cost thay need you now, and you will be payed back a lot more in years to come,
