An unmarried (with no kids) relative of mine is re-doing their will but her companion is drafting it for her in a web tool. The companion is drafting it in a way that they are the main beneficiary as well as the executor and durable POA. I suspect coercion is taking place.

Why wouldn't her companion be her beneficiary, and handle her business for her as her POA and executor, if she is unmarried and doesn't have children? Who are the POA, Executor, and heirs/beneficiaries under her current will?

Do you think that he is pretending to be her companion only to get her money?

If she's unmarried and has no kids and presumably loves her companion, then what's wrong with her changing her will to reflect it?

I agree with lealonnie1, that if your relative doesn't have any impairment then it's her decision.

If she's only known this companion for a brief time and you now for a fact that she's changing her Will as you described, then I also agree that you need to have some very hard proof to involve APS or an attorney. That's your only recourse.

Nobody. Unless you have solid proof of fraud or coercion, a hunch is not going to do much for your case. Now, if mom has dementia and is incompetent to sign legal documents, then call an elder care attorney with all of this.

Good luck to you.
