>>Next thought is that if the widow lacks capacity what is in place to manage her affairs?
And therein lies the likely problem.
If the lady is not capable of agreeing with when your Ex stops at a red light, she's not likely to agree with anything she does in connection with this will.
Do everything you can in accordance with ex F-i-L will, if not in the will in accordance with his likely wishes, and if neither then straight down the line.
The odd extra thousand is simply not going to matter in the context of an older lady soon to need care.
And as Bromp says, how are her current affairs being managed? Something OFFICIAL and DOCUMENTED needs to be in place.
Goodness knows I am on the bring of this myself, it's ugly. But the more that can be documented and done officially and the fewer ad-hoc decisions or opinions that are used the better.
Everything will rise up to bite your ex in the future. She needs to minimise that now for her own sanity in the future.
