A week later, the attorney contacted us with news. She had located a signed will stored with another legal office. It had been prepared several years earlier and specifically named all three sons as beneficiaries of the family farm. There were provisions for Charlene, including the right to remain in the farmhouse for a specified period. But the document did not give her ownership of everything. The attorney also discovered that a newer document had been submitted shortly before Dad’s death.
We asked to see it. Its signatures and circumstances needed independent examination, and the attorney warned us not to jump to conclusions. Charlene had claimed that Dad changed his wishes voluntarily. But the blue ledger contained a note about the exact date of that supposed change. Dad had written: “I was in hospital that day. Ask Dr. Miller.” We finally understood that we needed to speak to the doctor.
