[quote=Anonymous]What recourse does one have if during a former hospitalization stint, a sickly relative redid their will to go 100% to one nephew as sole beneficiary and executor and not split amongst the two nephews?

The uncle is my brother. His only relatives are me and my two sons, who had a normal long distance relationship with him. They left for college miles away in opposite directions, are married with kids and visit annually. We have the normal holiday memories, milestones together, stayed in touch as they aged.  My husband and I don't need the money which I assume is sizeable after working and investing 40 years, but I assumed it would be donated and/or split pro rata with descendants. Nothing controversial, everyone gets along.

Now my husband and I are shocked and disappointed. We would have never anticipated this potential favoritism or rift in the family. To date, I've been the one updating our families on my brother's life and health plus his partner is still his caretaker. Now I don't know what my brother or my youngest and his wife were thinking or doing. I don't even know how to handle the Thanksgiving trip next month.
