Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
Contested will
My great aunt left an estate that has a nice amount of cash, an automobile and a house with no mortgage. She left me and a nephew the bulk of her estate. With a decent amount of cash left to her sister (my grandmother) and some smaller bequests to other nieces.
We found wills that were not notarized, but were originals signed and witnessed (we are still searching for the witnesses). My grandmother is claiming the wills were planted (which is impossible) and is petitioning the court to be sole heir, since she is the closet blood relative. She is the only beneficiary that has a problem with the will. My aunt made her wishes clear to many people before she passed.
Does she have a good chance of getting the wills overturned? Is it in our best interests to put up a fight or is it just a waste of money?

Re: Contested will
An attorney should review all of the wills. Any will that is valid and self proving on its face is presumed to be controlling unless otherwise established. Feel free to drop me an email or give me a call to discuss further.
