Is it legal to change an ill persons will?

Estate Planning lawyer at Raxter Law
A person must have "capacity" in order to execute a will or other testamentary instrument. The only exception is in the case of a conservator who is supervised by the court. A power of attorney does not give a party the power to draft new wills. You may want to find the assistance of an attorney who specializes in Estate litigation. Good luck!

Follow the judge's instructions.  Paying taxes and associated bills does not give you title to real property.

Mom died. Dad survived. Both names on deed to house. Both have wills leaving house to the other. Should deed be changed to dads name only. Diy?

It all depends on whether the deed is a tenants in common deed or a joint tenants with rights of survivorship deed. If it is a joint tenants with rights of survivorship, you need to do nothing.  If it is any other kind of deed, some action in probate court will be required.  It might be as simple as a Petition for Year's Support or a Petition to Appoint Permanent Administrator.
