What can we do if our lawyer is telling us to waive our mother rights to our late brother's estate or get another lawyer?

Seek counsel form another lawyer. That lawyer will need to review the Will and probate papers. Then you decide.

What can I do to prevent my mother's husband from acquiring her house?

Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
She would need a new deed from her and her husband to her and her husband, but specifically creating tenancy in common rather than tenancy by the entirety. And yes, use a lawyer. Figure the value of getting this right compared to the cost of a couple of hours of legal work.

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

Answered by attorney Mark E. Bredow (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Bredow Law PLC
Yes. You may create an amendment to your will, called a Codicile (Cod - ih - sill). It changes parts of your will without changing all of your will. Or, you can create an entirely new will that replaces your old will. Wills are not difficult to create and an attorney should not charge you too much. Something as important as naming a guardian should not be delayed over a few dollars. Or, you may draft your own will and tear up the old one. Michigan law has a statutory will. It is a form that you may complete that is valid. I recommend that you consult an attorney to help you.
