Unless someone challenged the will, you're out of luck. If you believed the neice had exerted undue influence over him, or that he was incompetent to execute a will, it was up to you to bring a challenge in the probate court. If nobody did that, too bad. If the estate had bills (including the lawyer's bill) and assets had to be sold to pay the bills, so be it.
