Gray Rockin' Evelyn<p>So, I have just enough money that I should probably have a will.</p><p>I'd like to leave half that money to a friend who is chronically homeless, and the remainder to my siblings &amp; other rellies.</p><p>But since my friend is homeless, he may be difficult or impossible to reach. I'd like to include a provision that, if my friend is still unreachable after some reasonable amount of effort to find him, all the money just goes straight to the siblings &amp; rellies.</p><p>The problem is that I plan to name one of my siblings to be my executor, so they would be the one trying to get hold of my friend. There's a conflict of interest there, since failing to find my friend would reward them with a double share of my rather meager estate.</p><p>I trust my sibling/executor; &amp; the biggest worry really is stopping my sibling from exhausting themselves trying to find my friend.</p><p>So, my actual legal question is:<br>Is there a risk that just the existence of this conflict of interest could make the will invalid; or cause some big legal hassle for my sibling/executor?</p><p>The whole point of getting my affairs in order is to minimize what I will be putting my sibling/executor through. I don't want to screw things up to the point where they wish I'd died intestate.</p><p>I'm really asking for just general "this is how general legal practice generally handles this sort of thing;" but, fwiw, I reside in Washington state, &amp; my sibling/executor lives in California.</p><p>Thanks 😊 </p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/LegalFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LegalFedi</span></a> <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/FediLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FediLaw</span></a> <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/LegalTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LegalTips</span></a> <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Legal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Legal</span></a> <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Lawyers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lawyers</span></a> <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Will" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Will</span></a> <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Wills" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wills</span></a> </p><p>Possibly useful details:<br>*The homeless friend has a working telephone and email address; &amp; generally keeps in touch both with me &amp; his son.<br>**The sibling has agreed to be executor, and they &amp; I will probably discuss all this several times prior to my future demise.</p>

Ted Cadwallader<p>My brother passed away recently and I’m executor of his will.

Most of what I’ve read does not have “see a <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/lawyer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lawyer</span></a>” near the top of the “to do” list.
