What is the name of your state? TX

My great grandmother passed away last month and for the last two years prior to her death, her daughter (my grandma) has been the POA. Now that my great grandma has passed away she is saying all sorts of things about the will. First she went to get a different lawyer than the original one that my great grandmother paid to set up and read the will. Now she is claiming that she is entitled to money, even though my great grandma did not put her on the will. The new lawyer is telling my grandma that she can 'sell' things with my great grandma's money, and then profit the money - such as the two houses that my great grandma owns. She has already sold one of them and has been collecting the money. Can my grandmother manipulate the will so that she inherits the bulk of the estate instead of the grandchildren whom my great grandmother wanted the money to go to? I could care less about inheriting anything, I just want my great grandmother's wishes to be fullfilled without interference from money hungry family.

Thanks

Are you the double poster patrol?

- Just curious. :-) I was actually in need of legal advice and didn't see any rules opposing the same post in different message boards. Yes, I did post it twice as I noticed that one board was receiving more attention.

If anyone should read my request for information and have some feedback regarding "POA abuse of Will", please let me know.


Thanks Senior Judge for the observation, if you have any helpful info, please let me know also. -Thanks
