My Dad had a will that named 2 of his children as Co-Personal representatives. In his will he equally divided everything among the 4 children. The will was written 25 years ago when both Mom and Dad were alive. Mom died 3 years ago thus everything went to Dad. Dad was 85 at time of death. He was in an Veteran's extended care facility. Two weeks before he died, he signed a paper which was witnessed and notarized (by the same person). He stated because his granddaughter had taken care of him he would like his house and property to become hers. Because his daughter had been good to Him and her Mother, she should get the money he had in his bank account.
Question .....Does this notarized wish list take precedent over the will? Does the rep have to honor this wish or not?
