What is the name of your state? Washington
My stepfather lives in Washington and is almost 94 years old. When my mother died in 2004 he made out a durable power of attorney and myself and another family member are desginated as Co-Grantees as I live in Texas. In addition, I am the Executor on his Last Will and since my mother (his spouse) is now deceased I am also the sole survivor of my stepfather's entire estate.
My question: Is my stepfather or his attorney required to contact the Co-Grantees (myself and the other family member) on the durable power of attorney and myself as the sole survivor and executor of the will if he desires to change his will and leave certain property to someone else other than myself. Although he is elderly, I am concerned he could be unduly influenced and will not comply with my concerns that he contact me if he decided to take such action. Thank You.
