Tricky stuff. Talk to your family about this stuff before you/they die.

You don’t need everyone present while the will is being written though. That changes nothing. People can object all they want, but if the will is done correctly the objecting and challenging is pointless and just wastes money.

Why is it so hard for people to accept a dying persons wishes? If they want all their money to be donated to the first homeless person that walks past the closest bus stop to their house, that’s what needs to be done. No one is owed an inheritance.
