Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Re: contesting a will

I did not see your prior question, but your father had the right to do whatever he wanted to with his property [but not with your mother's part of the community property as he did not own that]. The attorney should be willing to tell you what is in the Will [I assume your father died]; certainly the original Will could have been modified by subsequent writings. There is no point to consider contesting the Will before you know what it says. In general, it is very difficult to contest a Will; you must show he had a mental problem. His resenting you for your drug usage is not a basis to overturn the Will, and is actually a fairly common rationale.
