Hi Sofeeya.

If one party changes their will without getting the written agreement of the other party, and the affected party passes away, then the children of the deceased party can challenge the will of the surviving party and make a civil claim against the surviving party for breach of contract and seek financial compensation through the Supreme Court. It is not perfect, but there is a clear path to resolve the issue.

Kind regards,
