I was the executrix of my mother's estate.

She had a crooked lawyer that pulled this off.

Being she was dying, I did not care to upset her when she decided to change her will a couple of weeks before she died, hence the reason for the codicil to her will.

I paid for that and got another lawyer to take the case over as soon as she passed.

The reason was because the lawyer was not only crooked but also an idiot and the will he drew up was filled with errors and sent to the wrong people that were named in the will.

So I fired his ass and paid his bill and he got $600 after it closed probate.

This is what my mother wanted; a probated estate so there would be no questions as to who got what.

This is off-topic anyway, I was simply replying to the OP. If the OP cares to continue on with the lawyer they now have, that is up to the OP. I just happen to know what a codicil to a will is (a pain in the butt for the most part).
