Sorry for the long post,
My auntie passed away on the 11th august 2023, We found out after her death from her step son that my sister had been removed as Executive of the will and a new will had been drawn up with both step sons named as the executive.
My sister and I are my aunties only blood relatives and we were brought up as sisters and not aunt and niece.
One of the step son that was added had no relationship with my auntie and has never been on the scene. The new will was written in 2020 , my aunt had a diagnoses of dementia and did not have the capacity to make such an important decision.
it has always been known that the previous will would be split 4 ways.
I have a copy of the new will and she as left everything to the stepsons, this would not have been my aunties wishes at all, .
I feel that my aunties vulnerability as been taken advantage off.
Has anyone been in this situation before and any advise would be greatly appreciated
