Re: Invalid will
All creditors (people who are owed money) have a certain period of time to submit their bills to the court for payment. In Alabama that period is six months from the issuance of the Letters of Administration. Contact the clerk of the Probate court where the estate was filed and ask her how to file a formal claim. Should be pretty easy.
