He wants to change her Will, she originally wrote that the house would go to her 4 children including him and they would do as they wish with it. She wrote a Will out at the solicitor office but did not sign it when she was well, she is now sick and her mind has gone, he wants to bring in a new solicitor to do a home visit and change the Will into him being the sole owner of the house and then the rest of her money going on to himself and the other siblings. Now his mum is not of sound mind what chances are there of him getting away with this. And also will the original Will be used instead of the one he is planning. What can I do to stop this. I am only 16 and dont know what steps to take I have until Friday to try and stop this terrible thing happening. I only just found out by accident, the other siblings are no better as I dont get on with them. They all don't care about there mother and she has given them so much.

Greed causes many problems when someone is ill. Everyone wants everything, it is really sickening. You are a grand child and a minor, there really isn't anything you can do. Her children can argue over the wills if they choose. They can argue over whether or not she is of sound mind and which will is most recent. If they choose to do this, most if not all of her estate will go to the lawyers.

It looks as though you are trying to protect the right full inheritance of one of your parents.
Try to convince them that they are losing out and try to spur them into action.
However,
If they have all given up on their Mother and your uncle is doing everything for her in her time of need then why shouldn't he try to get a bigger part of the inheritance, after all he is putting a lot more into the relationship.

Can you not ask for "Power of Attorney"?
From a magistrate they might be able to grant you this,or otherwise see the other beneficiaries and consult them over whether this is the best way forward,and will save further problems.

he can't change her will at all nor can he take sole custody of her assets. he can however, go before a judge and be given power of attorney over her affairs and medical care. i have to ask, how is it you can do anything about this? i don't think you have a chance there.
