Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
Protesting A Will
My grandma died, and she had got married 3 times. Her last husband, Stan, pretty much controled her and told her not to talk to the rest of her family. They met by a tv ad. She had got a large sum of money from her brother that was a pharmacist. He then talked her into moving to Flordia and building a house. She died in September. He he just died a few weeks ago. We did not get anything. Pictures.. nothing. Now he left all of it to his children. Most of the things were my grandma's.

Re: Protesting A Will
In general, to contest a will, you must be able to prove that it was executed under some type of fraud or duress. If your grandmother's last husband was a controlling person and she ended up leaving him everything in her last will, there may have been undue influence. However, it may not be easy to prove especially since he himself has passed away.
I suggest that you consult with an attorney at least once to evaluate the case and see whether there is enough evidence to pursue a contest.
Good luck.
