Family Lawyer Will
Q.My mother is my grandfather's POA. My brother is questioning our family lawyer about the will. Can he do this? My friend told me that " he can ask questions about the will. He can also contest the will if he wants to. Try to remember: this is America." Is it right? Any experience or advice for me???
A.Yes your brother has a right to see the will unless your grandfather or mother as POA have restrictions on this ... The will should be filed at the courts and open to the public (anyone). POA "Power of Attorny" is only valid while your grandfather is alive. Typically the POA outlines the powers given to your mother (Bank accounts, retirment accounts, medical, etc.). The "Will" assigns a person (or group of people) to handle his assets and debts after he has passed away. Each state is different so, you may want to search under your county and states rules on line. he can question all he likes but he would have to show good reason if he is trying to get it changed. sometimes doing so can get the other person in trouble. you may want to talk to him and make sure he's in full knowledge of what he's doing and the possible consequences of his actions. Anyone can question or contest. However, the court will decide if it is valid or not.
