Re: inheritannce
A Power of Attorney will not allow him to change her will. If you have a copy of the original will, then I STRONGLY suggest you contact an estate planning attorney (even if not our firm) and begin a Probate proceeding ASAP.
I would need to see whatever documents you have to give you a better analysis of the situation.
If you would like to discuss this matter further in a more private forum, please feel free to contact me directly at the email address provided by LawGuru or through our firm�s website located at PasadenaEstatePlanning.com

Re: inheritannce
Was the estate ever probated? Where did she die? Do you have a copy of the will? As you can see, there are more questions than answers here. You should have this situation reviewed by an attorney to determine what, if anything, can be done.
I am not your attorney, and this is not legal advice. To become your attorney, I would have to be formally retained.
