Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Virginia

Changing a will after a death

After my grandmothers death, my grandfather had the will changed. He says it is what she wanted, but she did not shange it herself. Is this legal?

No, this is not legal. The only person who can change a will is the person who made the will.

Of course not. But this situation sounds so

strange, that I have other questions.

Are you sure it is not a trust?

Why would anyone pay any attention to the new

version?
