Legal Question in Elder Law in California
Will
Sorry to bother you but I had a question my mother is 89 years old and wrote her will five years ago naming me as executor. In the last five years I've done all her banking, bill paying and ect. On April 3, 2008 she was admitted to the hospital due to a vitamin B 12 deviancy that caused damage to her mind as well as being diagnosed with dementia. Kaiser moved her to a convalescent hospital and last night my brother had her sign papers but my Mother doesn't remember what they were. If by chance he had her change her will would it be legal? Thank you for your help.

Re: Will
The modification may appear valid on it's face, but it is something you could challenge. If you don't have power of attorney over your mother's financial assets and medical care, you might want to consider filing a petition for conservatorship.
