Base upon what you have written, the unsigned updated Will of your partner means nothing. The partnershop agreements that you presumably signed wit your deceased partner should control how the businesses are to contunue if at all. From what you have written, I suggest that you consult with a business attorney that practices Wills and trust for help in your locality. One can be found on attorneypages.com.

The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
