I have just found a last will and testament that says I am the executrix of my parent estate is this all I need for a lawyer?

The lawyer will definitely want to see the will that you found. It is not possible to tell you anything more without knowing a lot more about the status of your parents' estate.

Once a will has been made, can the other spouse change it?

Answered by attorney Julie Christine Brooks Mains (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Mains Law Office
The question as drafted is a little confusing but I will try to answer what I think you are asking. First, it depends on how the house is deeded. If it is deeded as tenants in common, then his portion passes according to his will. If it is deeded as joint tenants with rights of survivorship with his wife/your mother or as husband and wife community property, then it went to her when he passed and she can make a will leaving it to someone different. However, if she is not competent to make the will, then the new will made while lacking competence can be challenged. Presumably, in order to obtain title to the home, the executor will have to probate your mother's will and that is when you would challenge it in Court.

His personal representative. Open probate. And don't use a Quit Claim deed, use a Bargain and Sale Deed (usually, in this context, headed "personal representative's deed").
