Follow the legal, signed will. It’s a legal document, the unsigned one is not.
I agree, follow the signed documents.
I agree, follow the signed documents.
EXACTLY.
ANYTHING not signed is NOT a legal document.
Original SIGNED document rules.
My parents signed will from 1974 was the one used in their recent deaths... Abide by the legal one...
Yes, agree. I am a lawyer, but not an estate planning one.
Concur. I was an attorney and this situation actually came up in one of my law school courses. The law professor stated that the only way to make this work is if the beneficiaries under the old will all agree to the new "unsigned will" and they go in front of a judge and the judge allows it (The judge still may not allow it,).
At first glance, it sounds like the attorney wants to get some billable hours.
