Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Maryland
Contesting a Will
My father died 12 years ago, and his parents, my grandparents are very well off financially. There has been talk in the family that I will not receive my father's 1/6 of their estate (they had six children), in fact I was told I would get nothing from their estate. Can I legally contest their will? Do I have any rights as far as being my father's legal heir in this matter. We're talking about a very large sum of money. I know through reading other wills, that if a child is deceased before a parent, usually the decedent's children are left his/her portion of the estate, but is that law or just tradition? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your response.

Re: Contesting a Will
You have actually posed several questions, and each one deserves to be analyzed separately, and carefully. More information is needed from you, but I may be able to investigate these matters for you, if you are interested in retaining me for that purpose.
