What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
My grandfather made his will several years ago having married a much younger woman, he left everything to this woman in his will. they never lived together and separated two years ago, but nothing legal to separate them was ever done. two years ago he amended his will to change it (so the 'wife' wouldn't recieve his house and it would go to his family) but didn't get this notorized. however, the wife did give my family a hand written document which states she had no interest in his residence and wants it to go to his family, (she did this as there was uproar in the family when they got married) which she had notorized. can anyone advise me if this would be considered a legal document? if the will dicates she is to recieve the house, but she gave us a signed statement declaring no interest in the house, where do we stand? thank you in advance!What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
