DH brought this up this weekend... we don't have a will (we have NO assets) but now that we have a son we need to think seriously about choosing a legal guardian in the unfortunate event something happens to us.

How did you guys go about this? How much is it to hire a lawyer to do the will? Did you have a formal dinner with the people you asked to be guardians, or was it more nonchalant? I have a couple family members in mind but I want to ask them politely and provide an "exit" if it's not something they're up to.
