Answered by attorney Sharon M. Siegel
Estate Planning lawyer at Siegel & Siegel, P.C.
In NY, wills are not recorded. However, if you challenge the will, you could request prior wills in discovery. Objections need to be in a specific format.

How do I leave everything to my kids?

Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
If your assets to be probated are $100,000 or less even if you have a Will not distributing to your spouse, but to your children, he will be entitled to your probate estate. You should consider a trust that gives your community property to your children. Your trust will need to be funded during your lifetime or you risk the estate being set aside to your husband. If your estate ids over $100,000 then a Will can work.

Wills and estate

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
To show that your father does not have legal capacity to make a Will, have him examined by a neurologist or other physician who completes a Physician's Certificate of Medical Examination or equivalent NYS document.  Note that some people in the early stages do have capacity to create a Will:  a statement that someone suffers from dementia or Alzheimer's is insufficient.  Note also that your father is under no obligation to tell any or all of his children what he is doing.
