Reply #5: The video deposition is a good idea.

The shark lawyer works, too.

My mother-in-law had a will and a trust. She made sure that it was iron-clad. Anyone who challenged it was cut out. I am pretty sure that the trust was dissolved when all the property was distributed. But it seemed to reinforce what she wanted. Maybe that does not work in all states. I am not a lawyer.

My mother-in-law was not a multi-millionaire. But she did have farm property and other assets. She wanted to be sure that her children and grandchildren treated each other fairly, and got what she wanted them to have. If she had not done this, the fighting could have gone on for years. That seems to happen even in otherwise loving families.
