Can you be in someones will, like a grandfathers, and the Executor of that will, see details???

Question

stop you from inheriting what your grandfather left to you?.....

My grandfather was a multi millionaire, lots of family drama. Lots of family politics. Cousins got 100k dollar weddings, and Uncle is executor......see where I am going? My sister lives in squalor all her life, and just doesn't seem all on the up and up...would LOVE to see that will!

Answer 1

The specific job of an Executor or Executrix is to carry out the deceased's wishes as the will directs - he or she does not just get to dispose of the estate's assets as they see fit. If you are in the position of an Executor trying to avoid giving you what your grandfather directed, contact an attorney immediately.

Answer 2

It's not likely - the will has to get filed with probate court (so it's a matter of public record). So if you do a little legwork, you can go to the county probate courthouse where your grandfather died, and take a look at it.

If the executor DID disregard the will, they can go to jail for that. And it doens't happen too often.

Answer 3

, First question ===
The executor,
has the right and duty to see all details ,
HE/SHE distributes what is dictated on the will.

2nd question
NO
what is written, in a properly witnessed will ,
must be honored exactly,
as it was written by your grandfather .

ALL persons named on that will benefit

an executor's duty is, to see ,
that, the estate of your late grandfather,
is distributed exactly ,
as your Grandfather requested .
( when the will was drawn up).

Any executor,
who willfully , with- holds or alters
the contents, of a properly witnessed will .
Is committing a serious criminal offense, ( fraud and theft)
which could be punishable ,by imprisonment .

I hope you get what your Grandad wanted ,you to have,
very soon

Answer 4

It should not. However, Wills can be contested, but if your inheritance is legit then there will be no problem. Being the Executor of a Will does not negate your inheritance. The Will should be probated thus leaving no hint of tampering or illegal distribution of the inheritance.

Answer 5

Once the will is probated, it is open record to anyone who wants to see it, including you. You can see if you were in the will and entitled to anything. If you were and you have not received it, contact an attorney. If the will has not been probated, try to find out why not. An attorney might still be needed.

Answer 6

You can go to court and contest the will and/or Executor - see a lawyer.
