[WSBAPT] Contract not to change Wills/EP

[Martin Silver]

While you wait for the big guns to weigh in, I have zero experience in litigating or arguing these, and I have only read of these, and that years ago.  I cannot see how the POA would be involved arguing that that does not affect the estate plan, but the PR might be an issue because it would require a codicil, right?  However, might a codicil changing the PR be harmless “error” if you will if in fact it has not affect on the plan of disposition?  but then again, this is just my overvalued 2 cents.

If you have a contract not to change wills or estate plan, does that mean you can never change your personal representative or attorneys-in-fact designated in your DPA or MPA?
