What is the name of your state? Missouri
My Step Dad and Mother were killed in a single care accident Feb. 6, 2005. they both had wills and my step dad's will left $20.00 to each of his son's, (they were under 21 at the time) and left everything else to me and my brother. Mom's will named me executor of her will and left everything she had to me and my brother.
Because Ron's family felt bad for the two son's and having lost 3 members of my family, I was trying to be fair and they came up with two documents for us to sign and agree that everybody got certain items they wanted and that after the funeral bills, other bills, debts, etc. anything left would be divided among the four of us. This is doc #1: stating what everyone wanted and that monies left would be divided four ways. It wasn't notorized or filed to my knowledge. Doc #2 states that Ron's sister, Marsha would handle any monies left from the insurance claims for the funerals and that she would take care of the bills, etc. I am wondering if these two docs are legal and binding and can they supersede the wills? Please help.....
