Q: My husband of 50 years is very ill. Our daughter is trying to rub her older brother out of our will. Land is involved.
She somehow got her father to agree to new bequests giving her children everything, which she will benefit from as children are 9 and 15. My husband has not been able to talk much, so I don't know how she did this. She says she recorded it on her phone and his scratch of a signature is enough. Is this legal? One item she requested was a gun to be shared with her daughter and her. After this took place, my son and I got to the hospital to essentially say goodbye(he didn't Die). As my daughter works at the same hospital as a social worker and has a notary license, she is there more than I can be. She hovers when I am there so I can't ask my husb. about it. Does she have any legal rights to get what she wants now?
A:
Your husband should be represented by counsel.
