I am named as executor of a will in relative's will along with her son. The son has presented a will to a solicitor. I helped his mother draw up the will using a Will Kit. The distribution of estate was 2 thirds to son and 1 third to daughter. Later she changed the will to Half / Half. We did this by filling out a new Will Kit. I thought the earlier version was destroyed. The son has presented the earlier version to the solicitor. He will only deal with me through the solicitor, so everything will be known by the solicitor.
What are the implications if I tell the solicitor that this is not the correct will?
I do not want to delay the finalising of the estate as both the son and daughter could do with the cash, but I think the situation is unfair.
Does the daughter have to contest the presented will (with my evidence) or can I just say it is incorrect?
Thanks for any help.
