My multimillionaire father is on his deathbed and his cousin is trying to manipulate him into making him the sole beneficiary in his will

A Redditor is worried about his father's cousin allegedly trying to manipulate his father, a wealthy individual, into changing his will. It's crucial to determine the truth about these claims, especially since the father is still alive. Evidence will be necessary to contest an estate plan, which can be deemed invalid if created under duress or undue influence. Family conflicts regarding inheritance often arise during a loved one's declining health, making clear communication and legal knowledge essential in estate planning.

An estate plan created under duress wouldn't be valid, but the Redditor would need evidence.

When someone makes an estate plan and provides instructions for what happens to their assets after their death, their wishes are usually to be respected.

If the cousin is close to the father and the children don't see him as often, it is entirely possible that the father simply wants to leave his estate to the cousin.

There are, however, some situations where a last will or other estate planning documents can be successfully contested and will be declared invalid.
