Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Idaho

Being Cut out of the Will

My Dad has had a stroke and since gotten mean and irrational towards me and my sisters. So now he has written a new will and cut out my middle sister completely and put my youngest daughter in the Will in her place. Then I just found out that he has made up a quick claim deed to his house because he says I have LUPUS and will not be alive to enjoy it so he wants to leave it to someone that will.

My question is can he write us all out and leave it all to my youngest? And is the quick claim mean anything when there is three daughters?

Re: Being Cut out of the Will

Yes, he can quitclaim property and effectively disinherit children by doing so. He can also disinherit children regardless of the quitclaim deed. There may be issues of incapacity. I would seek out an attorney, preferably in ID where he resides, regarding the issue of incapacity.
