Unfairly being left out of Will by sibling (POA)

[TrustUser]

yes, a father could do that

but i dont think this is the case, in this situation

it at least sounds as if the father was happy to find his "lost" children

and why was all this done when the father was in hospice ??

it is way beyond the point of being suspicious !!

this is why i put in my first post that it is a shame that people wait until the last second to sign stuff

half the time, they arent very aware of just what they are signing

i am familiar with people in hospice. they are "way past" the point of "being normal"

and extremely easy to manipulate, if someone wanted to do so

and then i hear that the son was not in contact with the father (or very little) for 2 years, prior ?

now all of a sudden he is there with his father, becoming the poa, getting wills signed, etc.

if i was a judge, listening to what happened (assuming there is some proof), i would never okay the will.

it stinks to high heaven

When I spoke to my father (after he signed everything), I questioned why he signed papers to have his youngest son POA. Father stated, "I dont want him in charge of me". I know he didn't read any of what he signed bc he can't hardly see. Does anyone know of or heard of a Codicil??? I thought it was an addendum to make changes such as adding or taking out beneficiaries????

Yes, most if not all here have heard of a codicil. Your point?

Your father can change his will anytime he chooses to as long as he is mentally capable of understanding his actions. If you are intentionally disinherited or left very little in this will, it will be difficult to contest it on the basis you believe he intended on leaving more. If you are not mentioned you might have a basis of contesting the will based upon your discussions with your father and a claim of undue influence. That’s something you will need to speak with a lawyer about.
