Certainly sounds like grounds for a will contest (a proceeding that challenges the will). For more info, please contact my office at (248)851-3171.

You very well might be able to successfully challenge the will. If you are in the metro Detroit area, give me a call. However, it is possible that there is less in the estate than you think if he had property transferred prior to her death. Bill Stern 248-353-9400
