-Overruled a will ??? That’s nuts.-
It happens all the time. This is why people hire lawyers who make certain the will follows the existing law. My mother-s will is updated yearly to reflect changes in laws. It should have been obvious to whoever wrote the will it would not stand in this PC environment. The only way the doctor could have had his way would be to give the money away while he was alive.
Walter Annenberg set up a foundation to administer his money for conservative purposes. This is the same foundation that gave money to Bill Ayers and Barak Obama in their famous -failed- attempt to educate children. The real purpose, of course, was to suck money into liberal causes. There is no way to protect your money for a conservative purpose after you are dead.
The Register of Wills is the most crooked office in the county I live in.
BIG money passes through there.
Thee judges and the hearings of the Orphan’s Court which hears related cases are laughable, they are so obviously croaked.
Even if you leave it to the Salvation Army, they might change “management” immediately after you’re dead. I know the McDonald heiress managed her SA bequest very well, and it may be what is keep the good charity honest.
