Would you be equally happy if your father and his new wife signed a contract not to change their wills to include each other?
Your father may well not be a candidate for guardianship. A court can only put a person under guardianship if that person is, due to mental or physical condition, unable to manage their finances or to provide for their own food, shelter and medical care. In addition, applying for guardianship takes time and a spouse has priority. This could easily take two years. If your father is dying of sepsis, he is unlikely to live long enough for anyone to become his guardian.
