Wills & Trusts
My father, who has since passed away, left a detailed will and trust. Subsequently, the executor, my brother, has drawn up two new wills, to his apparent advantage, and gotten my mother, who suffers from dementia, to sign them. I would like to know if the two subsequent wills can over-ride the terms of the original will and trust.

Re: Wills & Trusts
What you can do is all dependent upon the trust language. Usually your father's wishes cannot be overridden by subsequent actions by your mother or brother. But there are so many exceptions that you need to see an attorney to get an accurate answer. You have also mentioned facts that could rise to the level of elder abuse. Again, you must see an attorney in order to properly evaluate this potential course of action.
If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. Good luck.

I dont think you can change a will after the person dies. You should hire an attorney.

A formal contest can be filed in the Probate Court, and the truth will prevail, hopefully. If this is in the SoCal courts, feel free to contact me if you're serious about pursuing this.
