Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey
contesting a will/Real estate Holding
My father died in 1981 and i was not in the will that was
put into probate-well at least i think that is what
happened because he owned a prime piece of real
estate worth over a million dollars- there was a later
will without me in it and one made after my birth which
included myself, however that will was not used at the
time of his death- it vanished so to speak- this real
estate property was then sold after his death and all
monies were kept and i received none- am i able to
sue for any of that money that was recieved by his
family- the property was sold to the state of nj i am at a
loss in this matter-

Re: contesting a will/Real estate Holding
You say that your father died in 1981 (22 years ago). It would appear to me that the time has long since passed for you to bring suit against the estate. I would need more facts to evaluate whether you have a valid claim.
Re: contesting a will/Real estate Holding
The fact that your father died over 20 years ago would make it very difficult for you to bring any action, unless you were a minor when he died and some fraud could be proven. You need to speak with an attorney with all the facts to get an informed opinion.
