Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio

Can we contest will?

My cousins and I just received our split from probate. It was a $4000.00 insurance policy split among 10 people. We are assuming that there was a larger amount in the neighborhood of $500,000.00 - $1,000,000.00+ that our one cousin (Executris) had our Uncle transfer into her name along with the house. Can we take her to court on grounds she unlawfully coerced him into signing everything over to her? We believe there may be individuals who are willing to go on record on our behalf. (Nursing home, Nurses and neighbors) My Uncle passed away July 14, 2004. Is it to late?

Thanks

Re: Can we contest will?

It is probably too late to contest the will, as you only have 3 months from the date that the will is admitted to probate to file a will contest action. You might be able to go after her for fraud, but the probate court might be the only one with jurisdiction.
