[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you should quietly hire an estate lawyer and get his legal advice.

Then I think you discuss with him and your sister how to handle this emotionally with your dad. Not sure but I’d make sure you remain polite.

As an attorney I can understand not wanting to sign a document that says you’ve reviewed something you haven’t [/quote]

This is the answer. You probably don't already have an estate lawyer, so get one now. You don't have to tell your father that you just now did it; just tell him that you passed the documents on to the person who handles these things for you, and there are a few things to clear up.

Calm, pleasant, unemotional. if he reacts strongly, stay calm and a little befuddled -- that's just what you do, right? Have someone trained in the field handle paperwork? This isn't personal. Stay calm, stay pleasant. Youa re just going therough the appropriate motions, and it isn't about him.

If you need a bear, your lawyer can be the bear. It's not about you. It's just business stuff, you know.[/quote]

This 100%. OP, just because he’s your dad doesn’t mean he isn’t also a high powered attorney. Do not take a knife to a gunfight. He is controlling YOUR MOTHER’s multimillion dollar estate and he has a second family. Do not for one second underestimate the danger you are in and what could happen here, especially if he already abandoned your younger sister when she was still a child. This looks, smells, and talks like a duck.[/quote]
