Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Connecticut

My father died 2001. He had done a revised Last Will and Testament. At the time of Probate Actions

it had been misplaced. The attorney we obtained drew-up papers to expedite proceedings more quickly. Since then, The Will has been located. Because the house is in grave need of repair, and

according to the probate court disposition (changed to name three grand-children that are not named in the original Will) need these three signatures to be able to do anything, as far as getting loans or

grants. They are refusing to sign their named portion over to my brother who is and has been and is

still the overseer of the property. Everyone else associated to this issue has complied (the way the

papers were drawn up, there is entirely too many names on the document and need to be narrowed

down to one or two person), QUESTION: Will/Does the original LAST WILL and TESTAMENT that has surffaced, superceed the ruling laid-down by probate court. Since the WILL spells out who my Dad wanted the property to go to and for? Hoping the answer is favorable, but pestimistic.

I really can't answer your question because I don't have enough information. However, you could possibly reopen the probate matter and have the will admitted and enforced. Why don't you ask the attorney you hired?
