Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Massachusetts

My father in law separated from his 2nd wife, created a will leaving her nothing and established a trust leaving his assets to his children upon his death. Alzheimers set in and he decided he wanted to return to his 2nd wife. His 2nd wife called his sister and told her that she would only take him in on her terms. She allowed him to move back in with her and shortly thereafter a new will and trust were created leaving her his total estate. Absolutely nothing was left to his children. I believe he was under duress and unduely influenced when he signed the papers upon moving back in with his 2nd wife. What options do I have at my disposal to correct this injustice?

You can contest the validity of the will and or the trust. These cases can be hard for the plaintiff (e.g. your husband and his siblings) to win.

However, it can be done. As these claims are highly fact intensive, the most useful thing I can direct you to do is talk to an attorney.
