Q: My husband daughter had him to do a will on his property after he signed a act of donation to me is that legal.
Also I had durable power of attorney because he was mentally incapable of handling important issues.
A: Since you refer to written documents it is probably best to have a lawyer look at the paperwork and then provide an opinion to you. That said, the directive(s) of the will is based on what the testator has at the time of death. If the testator validly and legally donated property before time of death then the testator no longer has the donated property. I would set an appointment with a lawyer to sit down and review the paperwork and answer your questions after review. Good luck..
