Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Connecticut
objection to a will
in 1999 a man who used to live in the US, Connecticut died and before dying he did his will. He had a building where there are 4 flats. He left the beneficial ownership of the building to his wife and gave each falt to the 4 sons who live in the US, one for each of them, excluding from the will the 5th son who lives in Italy. Does he have any rights. Can he object to the will and obtain a part of the buildin?

Re: objection to a will
The provisions of the will itself will help determine the answer to your question. In his will, did your father leave something else of equal value to the son in Italy? If not, did he explain in his will why he left the son in Italy nothing? Is there a clause in the will that prohibits a contest? (For example, some wills have a clause that states if anyone contests the will, that person's rights are acknowledged and the decedent limits their inheritance to $1.00.)
I suggest you contact an attorney in Connecticut who specializes in this area of law. To find an attorney, contact the Connecticut Bar Association for a referral.
