My brother's wife has taken a similar position as the "wicked aunt", only she is the one who has supposedly loved and cared for her horses for as long as I remember. I was shocked when she sent me a copy of their will (I'm the executor if my brother and she are die at the same time). The will stipulates that the horses (6) are to be put to death (not shot, but euthanized). Well, I guess you know I would do no such thing......will or no will. There are Rescues for horses ....... in fact my sister in law helps out with transport now and then......I just don't understand it. I've thought she's needed medication for a number of years. It's like saying that when I die, I'd want my three euthanized rather than find a home for them (Aunt Jacke:-) where I know they'd be loved and cared for......

That said, it does sound that the "wicked aunt" has probably had a lot to do with the change in wills. Like the others have said......it might be worth paying your aunt that is ill a visit, and finding out if that's what she really wants, expressing your concern for the horses, your willingness to help find homes for them......if it's not what she really wants but the other aunt in being manipulative in some way, then you and your sister could help her find someone who could straighten this all out for her. It wouldn't be a pleasureable task for sure, but it might be the greatest gift your family could give your aunt at this time......particularly if her horses have meant everything to her.

Giving you a great big hug......and praying that all will work out for the good.
