How do I go about changing the name of my legal guardian on my will?

Answered by attorney Irwin G. Klein (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Hein, Waters and Klein
You can execute a Codicil which is a modification/amendment to the original Will. This will accomplish your goal without having to redo your entire Will. However, a Codicil has to be executed with the same formalities as a Last Will and Testament. You should use a lawyer.

How could I deny property inheritance?

Estate Planning lawyer at Ronald K. Nims
You can disclaim the gift, then it's someone else's problem. Of course, that someone else is probably your brother or sister. If it's truly worthless, sell it as is for a buck.

Do we have to wait for my brother to sell my mothers home before reading the will?

A will reading is from the movies. It is not required, and frankly, rarely done. If you think your brother did something improper, you have to be the first to get to court, and fast. Call a lawyer to determine your rights.
