Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Virginia
A friend made her will in November 2010 leaving most of her estate to her son. In January she had to go to assisted living and sold her house and contents to her brother. Can her son claim any of this property at his mothers demise?

No, not if it was sold to her brother as a bonified purchaser for value. Your friend,
however, may wish to either amend this will or abrogate it entirely
to make sure that her final wishes in regard to this property are clearly understood
and followed.
