Hi,
Recently, one of my siblings helped my parents make a will with an online will kit. The sibling made herself the main beneficiary of the will along with making herself trustee with the discretion to distribute funds as she sees fit. At the same time, she had my parents sign a power of attorney giving herself the power to sign documents on my parents' behalf.
My question is, is this legal as she has been so closely involved in drawing up the will and has not engaged the services of a third party such as a lawyer?
My parents are quite elderly and my mother is suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
Thank you for your answers in advance.
