Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Missouri
Additions to Will
I hold the: Last Will and Testament, of my recently deceased father, leaving me, as soul beneficiary of his estate, excluding my brother and half sister, which I never knew I had, until, two weeks, before Daddy passed away.
There was an addition, called Beneficiary Assignment, added 13 days, before my father passed away, by my brother,without my consent or knowledge. Which at that time,my father was neither mentally compitent,nor of sound mind and memory!
How do I stand, legally, accordingly to the Missouri State Laws, on this type of situation?
Also, my brother took belongings and cash, also a truck, that legally was left for me . How do I stand here, also?

Re: Additions to Will
It is not possible to give you specific legal advice via the internet with only the facts you have presented. There is absolutely no doubt however that you should consult with an attorney immediately. It may be that you will be filing the Will, requesting the Court to open an Estate, getting appointed personal representative and holding your brother to an accounting for any asset he might have taken to which he is not entitled. You may also be litigating whether the so called beneficiary Addition is to be given any legal effect whatsoever. Please get yourself to an attorney as soon as possible, and good luck!
