Major error

Exact requirements for the revision of our wills were not carried out. On the first draft our youngest of our three sons was totally cut out of the will. On the second draft there was yet another error which would have meant that son’s portion would not have come to his son if our son predeceased us. Meaning that portion would have been divided with all the other grandchildren. Not what was very clearly requested in writing on our first discussion. No very professional.
