What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
My grandfather passed away suddenly without getting a chance to update his will. His wishes, and my fathers, were that I should be named as beneficiary in place of my father. My father is disabled and lives off of SS income and does not want his benefits stripped, and would like for me to have sole control and rights to his portion of the estate. Grandad made notes regarding this change and even spoke to me about it a few weeks ago, but no legal documents were changed to indicate these wishes. The rest of the benficiaries have no issue with the change. Is it possible for this change to be made now? Thank you for your assistance.
