What happens before the testator dies is mostly irrelevant

When your relatives ask you about what your loved one who died did with all that money she spent while she was alive, you can answer, "it does not matter, that was before her death while she was alive."

Generally, unless there is fraud alleged, the Court is not interested in what transpired during the decedent's lifetime. The Court is only concerned about the assets from the date of death until final distribution of the Estate is made.
