What is the name of your state? Tn my father died Oct. 2002 leaving my step mother as executrix of his will in the event of her death i would be appointed, i just learned that she has passed away and my father's estate has not been settled. in reading over my father's will again i have come to a part that states " All of the foregoing provisions of this will are made irrevocable in the event that my spouse should predecease me and the provisions for the ultimate disposition of any property shall continue in full force and effect after the death of my spouse and may not be revoked, except by mutual executions of new wills by each of us. The consideration for making this testment irrevocable is the simultaneous execution of an identical will by my wife providing for the same division of our property upon the death of the survivor." My questions are does this mean that she could not make a new will unless my father was still living? And if so would that not make me the executrix of her will also? could anyone not named as executrix be able to place the will into probate? the reasons for these questions are that i am dealing with some very sneaky people in her family and don't trust them.
