My father has a long history of treating women poorly, and disowning family. He is in judgement of, and giving money to males who con him. He disowned and has not spoken to my sister for 12 years. But he sees her children in the home of her ex-husband. He disowned her because he chose her ex-husband, who is a con-man that in his eyes, can do no wrong. Even though my sister left him because of infedelity and abuse. I spent my life trying to be his son. Both my sister and I are educated and accomplished. My sisters ex-husband was not watching his 4-year-old son in an airport. The child lost a finger in a conveyor belt. The ex-husband sued. There is no money available from that suit for the son to have corrective surgery or to go to college. I always had to disown my sister with the "threat of loosing my inheritance". I have finally decided that it no longer matters what my father thinks. I will love my sister if I choose to. My father is changing his will to leave all that he owns in California to my sisters con-man ex- husband. Is this legal? Morally it is wrong, but is it legal? I would like to give 10% to the church, and split 50/50 with my sister whom he wrote out of the will when she divorced her ex-husband. Originally, I was the executer of the will, and while my father expects me to exclude my sister, I always intended to do what is right. What do you suggest?
Thank you,
Pastor Denise

Sure its legal if he follows the law and rewrites his will. Its HIS money. He can give it to his cat if he wants to. You need to focus on other things if this is driving you crazy. Don't expect a dime and then be grateful if you get anything. Maybe the family will get lucky and he will leave something to his grandchild. And Im not sure about the off topic comment on the dad being involved with losing a finger and a lawsuit. Was there something you were seeking ?

You can have a probate attorney review the will to be sure it is legal, if legal you have no choice but to do what it says.
