Hi, I have a hand written will that designates that I’m leaving everything to my life partner and fiance of 20 years. In addition, my primary residence has vesting that reads that my fiance has joint tenenacy with rights of survivorship. My vacation home in South America is in a trust for the country it is in and it specifies that the property goes to my fiance. My life insurance policy also specifies that my life insurance proceeds will go to my fiance.

My concern is my very estranged only daughter, who has never had anything to do with me has teamed up with my brother who is an attorney. Our concern is that after my death, they will try to go after my estate with legal manuvers and other tricks.
I have been careful to leave both of them $1 and to write a letter to the probate judge to be opened if there is any type of contestation by my brother and daughter after my death.
I can’t afford a will, written by an attorney or a trust for my USA estate. Am I protected?
