Risk if I ignore will and distribute in line with expressed wish of testator?

In my opinion- the ‘dangerous’ person in this thread is the appalling family member who stole from their own relative. They are disgusting and deserve to be punished - by the law- hence why I said seek advice. I was horrified by the OPs story that a large sum of money had been stolen. Rather than say my advice is ‘dangerous’ - look at the key words I put - seek advice! Get that money back somehow - in a legal way.
