The "Gatekeeper"

I have been involved in very many situations of death. Not seldom, a dying person dictates his or her last will and testament, then signs it before witnesses -- and leaves most of his or her estate to just one or two persons. This is where the Gatekeeper may come in. The Gatekeeper is a person who stands to inherit, say, ten million -- and certainly does not want any family member, friend, adviser, or even minister to bring about a re-write of the will. Usually, access to the dying person will not be denied -- yet the Gatekeeper will hover over every last living moment of the testator or testatrix. OBSERVATION: Think of it, it is a worthwhile investment of time -- if one is that way minded.
