My Grandmother passed away in March of this year. The will has been acknowledged but not executed as of yet, pending the sale of her primary home. A secondary home that my Grandfather built for "family" getaways which we call "the cottage" was also designated to go to her 5 children. Recently, a "witnessed" hand-written addendum to her will was found which states that she wanted $25,000.00 set aside in a fund to pay for future maintenance of "her beloved cottage". However, 2 of the 5 children have said that they will not use the cottage, therefore they want to be paid for their "portion" of the cottage and their portion of the $25,000.00. Can they expect this money since the will does not specifically state that they can do this if. It is a family cottage not intended to be sold "ever".
