Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Louisiana
8 years ago a member of my family died, in his will I was to inherit property handed down from my Grandfather/Grandmother. I was overseas serving in the military at this time and was somewhat surprised to learn that all family property went to his wife. It was only recently I found out that 60 days before his death (while he was hospitalized and on pain medication) his will was changed to make his wife the sole beneficiary. My question; is there anything under Louisiana law that can be done at this time?

It may be too late. However, if the witnesses to the will and/or any of the doctors or medical staff that were attending the person would be willing to testify under oath that the person was incompetent to execute the will, then you might have a chance. Of course if either witness or a member or 2 of the medical staff say he was competent, then that ends that. 8 years later, who would remember? Finally, the court is supposed to try and uphold a will as valid, so your evidence would have to be very strong.
