Re: stepfather left no will?
Thank you very much for your email concerning the will draft. This is an issue that needs to be reviewed by an attorney immediately. I have just done very very extensive research dealing with this issue and two month ago won at trial concerning a will that was not "signed." I therefore believe that I am in a good position to advise you.
But like I said, the attorney would have to review what you have, and get a much better understanding of the facts.
If you are interested in contacting me, please feel free to do so.
Sincerely,

Re: stepfather left no will?
Wills can only be admissible and enforceable if they follow the statutory requirements. However, certain exceptions do exist for some "handwritten" wills. You are very wise to seek immediate legal assistance in this matter, so you do not inadvertantly prejudice your rights down the line. You should have an attorney review the will first and foremost, and ASAP. For prompt, affordable assistance in this timely matter, contact us toll free today for a free phone consultation.
