Complicated, Need some good advice!

Removed By Poster

If you were in their shoes, wouldn't you be challenging this will?

This is where the lawyers will help resolve this though the probate process. With any luck, you won't get a lawyer to take your case.

....OR by all means lay out some truth for me ...

Here is some truth for you:

Do you have any idea exactly how disgustingly callous your post sounds?

ChillinInNY,

When did this action take place "(niece and a nephew) taken completely out of the will"?

Did he arrive at this conclusion ("he blames for his sister's death ") before coming into contact with your girlfriend?

The timeliness of some of the information you present might determine whether, or not, your girlfriend goes to jail.

No positive legal advice received. Not even sure if you are legal professionals or kids.

The reason is that elder abuse is very serious and punishable. If his decisions were influenced by the caretakers it becomes very significant. You said, "He knows once he dies they will all be out of jobs". How did this get planted in his mind? Then you said, "wants to give it to the 3 girls whom quit their full time careers at good hospitals to make a mans final year something better than a nursing home." How did he come to the conclusion that these people would be out of jobs once he died? If they had "full time careers at good hospitals" they certainly wouldn't/shouldn't have difficulty finding jobs immediately after he dies.

You said, "The Niece and Nephew were taken out of the will recently. He tried to do it a year ago but his lawyer was slacking and just drawing it out to get more money." Do you realize how suspicious that statement sounds?

It is common sense for anyone involved to wonder why a person who has lived for 96 years would give all of his assets to people who have only known him for one year. Be prepared to spend time sitting in a courthouse giving reassurance to your girlfriend. Especially if your girlfriend (and Aunt) had any influence on his decision making process.

Thanks for discussion all.

1) His mental stability needs to be documented by his physician.

2) The will has to be "airtight".

3) Everyone involved has to take extra care not to manipulate his thinking. If his intentions are as you suggest, make sure his attorney and witnesses are fully aware and documented. You can't leave this situation as a "he said/ she said" with the niece and nephew, otherwise there will be considerable legal expenses involved.

4) He should consider setting up a revocable trust for the quick dispensing of assets following death.

Grifters don't get free advice.

Ever watch Animal Planet? Where the hyenas begin chowing down on the wildebeest while the heart is still beating?

Still, there is the possibility that grifters can be reformed....

Can the niece and nephew contest the will?
Yes, and, if they have half a brain, they will.

How soon can we get our grubby hands on the money?
Assuming that the will survives the contest or a settlement is reached, if there is anything left after legal fees, figure about the time yiour first born is ready for college.

Can we hold the aunt to the recorded agreement to split the jackpot?
Almost forgot about that. Assuming, there is a jackpot, add another 3 years to the above. When grifters turn to plying their trade on each other, it is not a pretty sight.

How can we find out how much the jackpot is?
It's none of your business.

No problem. Don't blame you for removing it. Would not want any evidence of the scam floating around the internet.
