When someone you love begins to suffer from Alzheimer’s or mental decline, their vulnerability can leave them open to manipulation, and sometimes, that manipulation results in life-changing legal consequences. That’s what happened to Dave and his family when their Uncle Mike, who had always promised to leave his estate to his nieces and nephews, suddenly changed his will and trust to cut them out entirely.

In this video, I walk you through how we challenged Mike’s will in court, why mental competency matters in estate planning, and how the law protects families from situations where a vulnerable loved one is taken advantage of. This is more common than people think and it’s not just something you see in movies.
