My wife and I have trusts and wills that need to be updated and want to make sure there are no problems with the estate going to who we designate and eliminate any contesting when we are gone. We both have brothers who were trustees when our respective parents passed away and did numerous things to grab as much as they could in the process. It took lawyers at our own expense to stop some of it.
Neither of them are named in our trusts and wills and would like to insure they won't be able to contest them by claiming they are family and were just inadvertently left out. It is possible they would try.
As a belt and suspenders person would it be reasonable to identify them to NOT receive anything from the estate and also anyone contesting the trust or will is to be automatically excluded from the trust or will?
Cheers!
