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

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
Your situation is complicated and you must have an attorney review it to properly advise you. The bottom line is you have no say in a will created by any parent and do not have to sign off on anything. That said, one person cannot change the will of another. The will of your father would need to be reviewed to see if he left everything to your mother or some other disposition. The will of your mother would have to be reviewed to see if your nephew influenced her into the decision. An entirely different issue is whether there may have been a trust. The bottom line is there is no way, without reviewing the relevant documents, to properly advise you and your family of your rights.

May I have only my name on the deed, but both my daughter and I on the mortgage?

Answered by attorney Christopher Emmanuel Benjamin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Barrister Firm, P.A.
Technically the lender required both borrowers to be owners if the property at the time the loan was approved and there is typically a clause in the mortgage that says that if the property is transferred to someone other than the borrowers, then the mortgage is due in full. Moreover, the second borrower is still on the hook for the loan, even if you transfer ownership completely to yourself. From a practical point, the lender typically will not default the loan upon transfer as long as it remains current.
