in the 1970's my uncle was proven incompetent by the courts in new york state. my father had power of attorney to handle all of my uncle's finances. 1981 my father died and i was 22 yrs.old and went to court to get the poa for my uncle. the court decided to appoint a conservator. this lawyer handled my uncles money until he retired in 1995. a new lawyer took over then. in 1997 my uncle decided to change his will leaving everything to his friend. his original will left the family house to myself and my 5 brothers and sisters.
my question is if the courts found him incompetent to handle his finances. how can he change his will without going through the courts? he had his new conservator and the secretary as witnesses. please advise.
