[WSBAPT] Drafting Will - Interfering Children

[Jeff at bellanddavispllc.com]

Listmates:  This is just a Friday afternoon rant.  More and more children
try to tell me how to draft their parent's Will.  I never allow children, or
anyone else, into my meeting with the parent(s), no matter how insistent the
child is, or even the parent is in wanting the child in the meeting.  Have
you experienced this, and if so, what do you do.  If a parent is not able to
tell me what they want, I won't prepare anything.  Clearly not competent to
sign.  Just had some children rant about the mom's will as being all wrong
and not what they wanted her to do.  Apparently one of the children  set up
a "family trust" and wanted mom to leave everything to it.   Yikes, talk
about undue influence.  

 

Just my Friday night WTF moment.
