my sister-in-law was left the entire estate of her parents in NY State, leaving my husband and his brother out of the will totally....
she is stating that she wants to "avoid the long process of a contested will," so if both brothers agree to sign away their rights to contest, she will give them each a "portion" of the estate....
to avoid any empty promises, is there a way we can be sure that she will follow through on her "good intentions" before they sign away their rights? for instance, would it be legal for her lawyer to draw up papers specifying an exact amount she will give them if they give up their rights to contest?
any thoughts appreciated. thanks.
