Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia

Contest Will
My father died in 1995. I was left out of the will and everything went to my half-brother and half-sister from my father's prior marriage. I believe this was do to the fact my parents divorced when I was young and because my father and I lost contact with each other as I got older, moved away from the house and got married. I tried to contact my father in 1995 only to hear that he had had a stroke for which he died a few months later. Recently, I have tried to contact my half-brother who was named Executor of my father's will. I wanted to ask him if he would write a letter to the hospital where my father's medical records are located so I can obtain a copy. I have a son who is ill with a genetic illness and I need to see if there is any mention of this illness in our family. This would be very helpful for my son. My half-brother and half-sister will not even speak with me and have returned certified letters. I believe this is because of the will. The hospital says I cannot receive a copy of these records without a letter from the Executor. What can I do? Also because of their unwillingness to assist me in this matter, I would like to know if there is a statue of limitations on contesting a will.

Re: Contest Will

I see no grounds for contesting the will. They are not required to give you any medical records.
