Dad made a will back in January 2011 when he had already been diagnosed with early onset. He was at that time still able to communicate and understand what was going on, although he may well have forgotten a couple of days later. The will writer did IMO a professional job and asked us to leave the room etc while he talked to my dad. My dad died last July 2014 and my brother has contested the will based on "not of sound mind" my brother is an alchoholic and my dad did not want him to benefit from any money to "drink himself to death" or to waste on drink. He has placed a caveat on his property, and I obviously cannot sell it. My mums will was exactly the same, she died at the end of 2011 and my dad functioned alone in the house with carers and me until November 2012 when he declined and was taken into a care home.
Has anybody any advice or been through this or recommend any reading. I have googled law suits etc but it's all a bit legal to the layman.
Not that this has any bearing on the case, but my brother has never helped out over 20 years and never came to see our parents even when my poor mum was dying.
Thanks
