The fact that he has more now is no basis to challenge a will. The will will describe who gets property or assets that are not specifically accounted for in the will.
A will cannot be contested because of its age or because the assets increased from the time the will was made. If the will does not specify who will inherit any additional properties, then it will be administered according to state law. You could speak to an attorney if you think there are other grounds to contest the validity of the will.
The residuary clause in the will, will dictate who gets the remainder of any property left. II will be glad t to help you probate the estate if you are located in St. Johns County, Duval, Nassau or Clay counties.
