My parents had a joint will executed in NM. When my mother experienced health issues they moved to WA where my brother, who resided there, had found them a wonderful living facility. My mother soon passed away and her interest in their estate went to my father. My brother took my father to a local attorney to look over the will and make sure all was well with his intentions to pass his estate 50-50 to my brother and me. Somehow, he signed a codicil naming my brother primary executor. Maybe the attorney suggested this as I was not a resident of WA. I really don't know. Dad was 89 years old at the time and in good shape mentally for that age but after a few days of going over the document he had signed he became quite upset and called me to tell me that was not what he wanted to do. He wanted me as the primary executor. He asked me to call the attorney which I did, a very nice lady, by the way. She told me he would have to come in and tell her that he wanted me as the primary and sign a new codicil which of course I knew he had to do. Anyway, they got it done. I called the attorney afterward to verify and asked her if he had made himself clear. She responded "He made himself PERFECTLY clear!" lol
