Re: Probate a will
A lot more information is needed. 1. How and when did you find out about the will? 2. How and when did you find out about the will that was 20 years old? 3. How and when did you find out about the decision to invalidate the will that left you the estate?
If something was done fraudulently or illegally, you would have grounds to either vacate the Surrogate's Court decision or commence an action against the executor and individual beneficiaries of the estate.
