This is worthy of Machiavelli himself.
You and your brother agree to be diinherited, but you put the wrong date on the form, then too late bro. Doogie gets the lot

I do think it's pretty unethical to disrespect your grandfather's (or anyone's) will.

No point quibbling while he lives as long as the law is sensible and allows all involved parties to come to their own arrangement.
As soon as the money becomes mine it is mine to give to my mother if I wish, but I can say for sure he would prefer none if it goes to the taxman.

If all the parties named in the will agree then you can pretty well amend it to whatever suits

Not sure if this helps but a family friend's husband died intestate. Hence the children could inherit some of the estate. But they decided not too.

Now I can of course gift money to my mother but a)aren't there tax implications b)it's a hassle.
So I wondered if I can contest the will when my grandfather dies along the lines "I don't want it, my mother should have it"? People contest wills to try and get more, how does it work if you DON'T want something gifted to you in a will?
A bit serious for General I know...
If you do gift a sum to your mother as long as you survive seven years there are no tax implications.
IANAL
