1 Answer from Attorneys
It will be difficult to fight. However, because of he age, the proximity of the change to his death, and other matters, it might be worth your while to challenge the will. Find an attorney who has several years of experience in challenging wills. It will be difficult and you don't want a novice handling the matter.
