Wills and Probate Questions

I am a widow with no children. I have made a will making my great nephew and his wife my executors. My money is divided between several members of my family. After my property – a small flat worth about £100,000 – has been sold, is there any formal action to take before the instructions in my will are carried out?

My wife has suffered a stroke, and can no longer write. What’s the correct procedure to go about obtaining a power of attorney?

I see a lot of adverts telling us that standard “Mirror Wills” are a bad idea and that we should be putting our money and assets into trusts. I think a lot of people are confused by this.

My wife died recently. She was to have been a beneficiary of her mother’s will, and also that of her uncle, who has no children of his own. One of his nieces got him to change his will recently. I want our daughters to receive what my wife was to inherit. Have they any rights?

We bought our house over 30 years ago and put it in my sole name when my husband went self-employed. We have made wills leaving everything to each other, then equally to our two sons. Is it safe to assume that if I die first everything will go to my husband?

A friend is going to be left a property that she doesn’t want in a will. Does she have to accept it?

My elderly mother’s doctor thinks she may be suffering from dementia. She gets confused and upset, and recently she told me she had cut me out of her will. I don’t mind this so much, but my mother has arranged her funeral and my sister has put herself down as next of kin. As the eldest child, do I have any rights?

My daughter is married to a man who has two grown-up children. If he were to die, would his children be able to claim from his estate?

If my stepfather dies, who will be able to claim on his estate? My mother is already dead. I believe my stepfather has a son.
