Hello, my grandparents set up a trust credit shelter type of will for a very large estate. I believe it was set up to mirror each other's wishes, but I only ever saw my grandfather's will when he passed.
When he passed, I got a copy of only his will. The lawyer who sent it addressed me as contingent beneficiary as the will states if my father pass before me, which he has. My mother was not named in this will.
My own kids are not named so if I die before them, I think this means my shares would pass to my brothers & cousins who are named as contingent beneficiaries?
My grandmother has remarried. Her new husband has a lot of children & grandchildren. Once these wills are made, can the surviving spouse-Grandmother- change the deceased spouses -Grandfather's wishes? Can the living spouse -Grandmother-change their part of the will? Like, can she have her own wishes for her half?
