Don’t lawyers take 30%?
I am told by every friend to get an attorney, but it would just kill my mom. She can’t remember anything for 5 minutes, but she is still aware in the present time, and she would probably be dragged into anything if something were done now. She tells me what her actual wishes were, and what it seems like is that she may have been bamboozeled (when no one knew she was coming down with dementia) into doing otherwise. She doesn’t realize it didn’t happen that way and when I tell her, she gets very sad and upset. There is nothing she can do any more. They got her signature.
I will just have to pray that they will be fair.
Get an attorney. Negotiate the percentage and hope it doesn’t happen before the holidays :(
They will prompt you to get mom to write a will which, if you don’t have, you will have buzzards from all over the country trying to file claims against her and your dad’s estate.
