Re: will

First, I would get a copy of the Will from the Surrogate in the County where your Dad lived when he died, to see what he left you, if anything. Then I would review your rights to contest what has gone on with a good estate attorney. If you were left something and it has gone improperly, you may have claims against the Executors, the trustees and the attorney.

Re: will

If you're confident that you were left money or are sure you've been ripped off, you should retain counsel immediately to protect your rights. As Mr. Levine stated, the first thing to do is to obtain a copy of the will.
