Will the creation of a new will nullify the existing will?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
This appears to be a follow-up to your earlier question. You are being quoted unreasonable fees. Notary charges do not justify a fee of $800. You should speak with another attorney. In many cases, copies of estate planning documents can be treated as originals. The lawyer should provide you with an additional copy of the original estate plan for a nominal charge. As far as protection of assets from spouses, that is a wide-ranging topic and beyond the scope of this question and answer forum. It is very possible to protect against spouses in a trust. It is not clear what has been done with the existing document, however.

What happens to my parents' house now?

Answered by attorney Christine Sabio Socrates (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Christine Sabio Socrates Attorney at Law
If there is no will, their estates would need to be probated and the house would be distributed to the five siblings equally. The house can also be sold while in the probate process and the proceeds distributed. If you brother is mentally disabled, special measures need to be taken so that his distribution does not violate any government benefits he is currently receiving.
