What can I do if I think my dad's ex fraudulently got in his will right before he died?

Answered by attorney Jay William Moreland (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jay W. Moreland, P.A.
You would have the right to challenge the will in court, if you would stand to get something if the will was not upheld. You have a high burden of proof to challenge a will. You must show that your father executed the will while under duress, undue influence or that he was mentally incapable of understanding the extent of his property and know the likely people who would inherit his estate. The law generally will uphold a will that was properly executed. A will can be changed over and over up to the time of death as long as the will is executed properly and the testator (person who signed the will) was legally capable of executing a valid will.

I have a trust but would like to make some changes, can this be done?

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
Yes you can amend your trust as to any provision or revoke the whole thing; however amendment is pretty simple and straight forward. Yes you can change attorney at anytime you desire; you do not have to go back to the last attorney that prepared the trust or trust amendments. Choose an individual that prepares estate plans which includes trusts; and interview attorneys until you find one you are comfortable with. You will need to take your original document binder to the new attorney; if the last lawyer has your original documents, you need to request and obtain those documents before you interview your new counsel.
