1. My father is on hospice care down to his final days/weeks. He created a will in may of 2016 at which time he listed his girlfriend as his common law wife (they lived together for 5 years in Delaware and never legally were married). In the will he states he is leaving the house to his girlfriend. However on december 4th he wrote an email to his brother about his "final wishes" in which he states he wants to leave the house to his girlfriend, but whenever she sells my father's profits should be split amongst his three surviving children. My father was not on morphine and of sound mind during the email. Could this email override the will from 2016?
2. Also, in his "final wishes" he states for his federal credit account to be split between his four grandchildren. This account is not mentioned in the will. Would this likely hold up in probate?
Thank you for your help!
