Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
I have a mother that is about to be placed into hospice. I also have a brother that has just changed her will and made himself executor. Is this allowed?

Your mother controls who is the personal representative in her Will. If she signed it and all legal formalities were followed, then it is allowed.

If she executed it voluntarily, with no undue duress, yes .

You can challenge if mother was incompetent or unduly influenced.
