Probably. These 11th hour changes are frequently grounds for estate contests. I will need to know a lot more before deciding how to proceed. It could be undue influence or interferrence with inheritance. Or we could simple say that mother put your sister's name on the accounts as "convenience" and that it was not intended to be a testamentary gift. I will need to know more facts. I look forward to your call. You can find my contact information at www.legacylaws.com.
