My late parent passed away just over two years ago. They lived on their own but had a lot of assistance from a specific relative as well as daily meal service deliveries and nurse visits. They were also diagnosed with Alzheimer's. I lived a two hour plane trip away most recently and prior to that the other side of the world so only visited a few times a year as I had a demanding job and young family but I telephoned them nearly daily. This other relative let's call them "Sally" assumed more and more responsibility over the years and took over all financial affairs as power of attorney by the time my parent died. Unfortunately I never discussed the Will with my late parent, I was embarrassed and taught it was vulgar to talk about family money. I was made aware by "Sally" they had encouraged my late parent to write a Will. After the death I was told by Sally she was the executor and she told me the entire estate was to go to myself and my children. Having not dealt with the situation I did not question. Months passed and I was asked about sale of house and what would like to do with the proceeds but I hadn't been given the Will or knew any details as to the value of the estate/bank accounts etc. finally I bit the bullet and asked to see the Will and was surprised to learn I would not be managing my own children's estate until they were adults, Sally would. I sort legal advice and was told this is unusual and I should request I manage this as well as a list of assets and expenses to date. Salt refused both. I then engaged a lawyer who noted the Will was downloaded from the internet, and of very poor quality/unlikely to have been shown to a lawyer. I also then discovered there was also a codicil, after my lawyer requested to see it, we lessened approximately 1/3 of the estate would go to Sally and her children and it was signed 3 months prior to my late father passing. My lawyer also questioned the validity of the Will and codicil as Alzheimer's was on the death certificate. We have finally reached a point where sally has agreed to let me manage my children's inheritance but she is refusing to budge on the codicil written only 3 months prior to death. I have asked to have access to my late parents medical records as I don't know the date he was formally diagnosed but I have reason to bet it was prior to the Will and sally has refused. My only choice now is to take Sally to court. I know my late parent was incapable of writing a Will and also trusted Sally. They would have signed and agreed to anything Sally put in front of them. Going to court will be expense and I risk losing. Any advice on whether to go to court or bow out? I strongly believe Sally wrote the Will, Sally took advantage of my late parent and felt they should be compensated so added the codicil just prior to my late parents death. The fact that Sally is not willing to let me see the medical records I believe is also very telling. Thoughts?
