Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Re: Will

It depends on the terms of the will and if the type written letter is a way of exercising a reserved power. Otherwise the letter changing the terms of the letter only work a change in the will if it is executed by the person and witnessed by two witnesses who have no interest in the estate.

Remember, a Will is a meaningless document until it is proved to be valid in a probate proceeding so that any such issues will have to be determined in a probate as well.
