[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted a couple of times before recommending that you see a lawyer.  I still think you should see a lawyer *before* you meet with your cousin, so you are fully aware of all your rights and responsibilities, otherwise you may be making decisions that may come back to bite you.  It's best for you to know all of the possibilities and consequences before you make any concessions or promises to Mary.  If you have to meet with her first, don't make any promises; just hear her out.  Good luck.[/quote]

It would be a good idea to let Mary and Roy know that it would be a good idea for them to talk to a lawyer, just to make sure everyone in the family can see that you are not trying to take advantage of the situation. Mary and Roy should have their own lawyer and you should have your own lawyer, so that all the parties have someone looking out for them in a legal sense.

And Roy should be at the meeting with you and Mary, also. He is also affected by the wil.

Has anyone talked to the lawyer who wrote the will? The lawyer might be able to shed light on what was behind the idea of leaving the house to someone other than her own children.

Mary and Roy will continue to be your family, so it's important to treat them right. Think how you will feel twenty years from now if you have any concerns at all that Mary and Roy have not been treated fairly. I think if you lay your cards on the table with them and let them know that you will be seeing a lawyer and they might want to do the same, you can feel good about your actions.
