Re: chaning a will by cohersion

There may be grounds to challenge a will drawn in the 11th hour leaving all assets to one person who was then in control of the decedent. However, the Florida Probate Code allows only a limited time for someone to contest a will that has already been filed with the court. You should consult with an attorney as soon as possible.
