Sign NOTHING until you have, at minimum, a consultation with a will, trust, and probate expert. If you send us an e-mail I will send you a couple of names of competent attorneys in that area (it is on the fringes of family law, but more a will and estate issue, I think). You should act quickly before the money, stuff, and opportunities for choices, are gone.
This is something that I do but I would charge five thousand dollars, up front. If this is something that you can afford, please email me at [email protected]
