Does a written agreement override a will?
I am getting a percentage of a property and I don't trust the person. So I would like to know if this will help me surrounded by court. Will this part of an agreement stand in court if the person agrees and signs the agreement factor below? Or is there a better way of putting it so that is stands contained by court. It goes this way: This agreement overrides any future change of this agreement whether it is a Will, Trust or any written or verbal agreement made by me. It is for a molestation that occured many years ago. This agreement is more for pain and surrering that the soul is awarding me, but wants to keep it a private issue. What is the best thing to do?
Best Answer:
If he signs it surrounded by front of his lawyers, and your lawyers, and has a witness here, then possibly. But chances are if it is not written in the will, zilch will come of it. Look at the Jacko story of the moment...because he had it written in the will, his mother got custody; not the childrens' own mother!
Signing a statement that says he will never change his mind about who to provide his property to in a will... I don't think that will ever stand up in court.
It is possible for two populace to make a contract about what one or both of them will or won't do with their will, and for that contract to be enforceable. However, for it to be enforceable, it have to be more than a onesided promise from one person to the other that "I won't change my will"; there have to be a two-way exchange, each party to the contract giving up something and each deputation getting something in return. But if the person is deeding you the interest in the property right in a minute, then you won't have to worry almost what they do with their will later.
Contact an attorney. Wihtout the proper erudition, don't try to write a contract your self, a first year law student could take it apart in court.
No, that would never stand up. Any contract or agreement can be modified then. If you have a contract, it keeps in effect until you both agree to evolution it, even if the will disagrees with it. If he just says he's going to bestow some property to you when he dies, there is nothing to bind him to this. He can change the will whenever he requests.
Any written agreement CAN be changed within the future. It is impossible to have such a thing as an unchangeable agreement.
I expect you need a lawyer. The answer changes base on a number of things. Is this REAL property, personal, or an interest in a corporation? Is the "agreement" contingent on you doing something else? The answer would change whether you're chitchat "contract" or "conveyance." How much time passes between him "violating" the agreement by writing a Will you never see and him dying leaving it to someone else? Is anything recorded? Witnessed? Attested? I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but I'm pretty sure you're roughly speaking to screw it up. Spend a hundred bucks and talk to a lawyer about it. If it isn't worth that to you, why bother even writing this press? *** You need a lawyer more than I thought. If he dies and winds up have reneged on the deal, and you try to enforce it in court, you're suddenly going to find out about your state's statute on "extortion."
