Here is an interesting question: a couple gets divorces and as part of the divorce settlement, the Husband agrees (in writing) to leave 50% of his estate to his step-son in his will.
Years later, the husband decides to change his mind and changes the 50% to $100. What rights does the step-son have (if any) to enforce the agreement made during the divorce settlement?
Let's assume, for this question, that the divorce settlement was well-written... the question is really "which takes precedence" and "does the step-son have the right to attempt to enforce the divorce agreement between his mother and step-father?".
