QUESTION
what is the process for our elderly grandmother to create an official new will?
Asked on Nov 21st, 2020 on Estate Planning - Louisiana
More details to this question:
my grandmother was forced to sign a "will" that was written by her son under false pretenses. he now states that he owns everything yet my grandmother is still alive and aware that she was tricked but afraid. there are 3 other adult siblings who have been intentionally left out of this "will". sadly, my grandmother has now since been placed in the nursing home, by her son. my grandmother is elderly but not fully incapacitated. how may we go about creating a new legit will that will revoke or supersede current "fake" will with her consent? and is there any additional protection or steps the other 3 siblings could take to reduce possibility of new will being revoked by the son?

Please contact a local estate planning attorney. Many are able to conduct remote signings during covid. While only your grandmother can revoke her Will, it is possible that her son could persuade her to sign yet another Will as long as she has legal capacity to do so.
