In the event that I die and my Spouse does not survive me, and my children are still minors, I appoint {{guardian_1_full_name}} of {{guardian_1_address}} as the legal guardian of my minor children. Should {{guardian_1_full_name}} be unable or unwilling to act, or predecease me, I appoint {{guardian_2_full_name}} of {{guardian_2_address}} as the alternate legal guardian of my minor children.

Residuary Estate

All the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, both real and personal, wherever situated, I give, devise, and bequeath to my Spouse, {{spouse_full_name}}. If my Spouse does not survive me, then I give, devise, and bequeath my residuary estate to my children, {{child_1_full_name}}, {{child_2_full_name}}, and {{child_n_full_name}}, in equal shares, to be distributed among them per stirpes.
