If my dad has written a Will and I am suppose to inherited everything but we had a falling out about a year ago, can a family member change the Will?

Now I heard that he is very ill and about 2 to 4 weeks left to live. He wishes to see me but his brother and sisters are doing everything they can to keep me away from him. Can they change his Will or do something to keep me out.

Only your father can change his will. But family members might try to convince him to make changes to his will. 

Don't let family members stop you from seeing your father--but for personal reasons, not because of his will. This may be your last chance to talk with him and put your "falling out" behind you.
