A parent may leave one child who has been of extraordinary help and comfort a greater share of their estate by will.

Can a sibling have a will changed even if it is not in probate?
I'm not an attorney. But if I'm reading the question correctly, the ONLY time a will can be changed is before it gets to probate. And it can be changed only by the testator, the one whose will it is. Once a will is under the control of probate court, and that would be after the death of the testator, the court decides whether the provisions of the will are legal, and then the will is executed as written. Assuming that we are talking about the will of a parent and the actions of sibling children of the parent, if siblings could just freely change wills after a parent's death, there would be utter chaos in probate courts. If there is a question about the competence of the testator to make a change, it is probate court that determines what will happen.

As the older sibling can you become the legal guardian if the parent gives up their legal rights to the child?
Yes, if the parents have legally given up the child, the older sibling can become the legal guardian, but of course you must be 18 or older and you must be seen by judge in court to approve. I have seen this with the death of the parents, and i am pretty positive you can, talk to a lawyer.
