If parents have joint custody of child and father dies can father give his custody to grandma?
No, not if there is a biological mother in the picture. A parent can name a guardian in their will but that request will not become operative if there is a surviving who hasn't been determined to be unfit. Under extraordinary circumstances grandparents can be appointed legal guardians but only if the remaining parent is unfit and the placement is in the best interest of the child.
In this case the child will remain in the sole legal custody of her mother.
