Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Colorado
challenge will
My elderly friend's father cut him out
of the family will for not contacting
him for 40 years, but my friend was
unable to, due to mental fears and
lingering childhood programming of
negative nature. He tried, but was
too frightened.
Therefore his 72 year old sister, the PR grabbed his ''would be'' share and the momentoes and left
to WA state. She got a Restraining
order to stop him from begging her
for a small share of the estate(he
needs the money, being on SSI)
....Is there any way to recover
any of these estate funds?

Re: challenge will
Your friend should contact an attorney who is experienced with Will challenges. If the Testator wrote the Will under a mistaken assumption, or under undue influence from the friend's sister, there could be issues.
Will challenges are normally difficult cases to win where the claimant is challenging just because they are unsatisfied over their share.
However, your friend would be advised to seek the advice of an expert estate attorney to assess his rights and options.
