By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

I am curious why you think it would be a conflict of interest because your Dad's wife suggested which attorney to use for your Dad and Step-mother to draw up their Wills.? Otherwise if this was reverse, with your Dad suggesting which attorney to use, the wife's children could think the same.
As long as your Dad was of clear mind when he had the Will made, then the Will is valid.
I would make an appointment to speak with an "Elder Law Attorney" to get what recommendations they would suggest.
It appears there will be no probate as widow has taken possession of All and moved.
My mom was told she’d be minor beneficiary as he was giving her money once a month for the last year. He is parent to my sisters kids.
He was holding inheritances from both his parents as well as grandparents bequeathed to his kids and grandkids that have not been disbursed.
He was a prominent businessman with business properties downtown that are extremely valuable.
There are also family heirlooms from his parents in his personal property that disappeared as well that widow has no rights to.
The widow mailed half his ashes to his children and that was only thing she’s given them.
Im sure he made provisions for his wife but I know he did not exclude his kids. I’m not saying she doesn’t have a right to some of it.
You may be very right that my mother’s expectations were not realistic but I’d still like to know the answer to my question.
My mom has a will and she distributed copies to each of us kids but that doesn’t mean it’s her final wishes obviously. I’m curious for our benefit too as she is 93 and getting fragile.
Do you know how the will was worded? Has probabte been opened? If your mom was named as a beneficiary, she would have been notified when private started.
People can expect things: other people can tell folks all sorts of stuff about what's in their will. None of that matters until the document in examined and proved in court.
Why do you doubt the probate lawyers?
