I live in California, my Mother lived in Washington state. She made one of her friends the executor of her will. Wicked long story short, Mom had 7 children. She disowned the 2 oldest which were girls from a prior marriage and she specified in her will they get a dollar each. Now we're down to her 3 sons, me (her youngest daughter) and an adopted boy (who's 16 years younger than me). Mom split up her estate evenly amongst us 5; however, I just found out she designated me as a beneficiary on one of her CD's and the youngest boy (not the adopted one) the beneficiary of another. From what I understand, these would have nothing to do with the estate. The executrix has taken it upon herself to state she knows that my mother's intention was to split up her estate evenly and she will deduct my CD from the balance. She even state she would swear in a court of law that she knew my moms intention, even though my mother has changed her will more than she did her underwear. But, then again, this is the Execs argument that she simply forgot. I hope this is enough info but not too much you're asleep. Please let me know. for now i'm remaining mum because i'm starting to feel gross & greedy.What is the name of your state?
