I like the idea of having a lawyer present. I'd film the opening of the letter, too.
I wouldn't leave it up to some geriatric's judgement to send you a letter with potentially actionable items that could cause trouble for you, the estate and the family at large. Sounds like a total hassle.
Hopefully the letter will just be some, 'you were always my favourite...look out for your little brother' kinda thing. If it's stuff that would run counter to the will/POA/any official document I'd be tempted to burn it (with the lawyer's thumbs up) to not have to deal with whatever that could trigger.
