Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio

Parents will and trust
My father passed away in 2001, leaving a will and trust. It is a pour over will & revocable trust. Everything went to my step-mother. My stepmother was mentally challenged at the time of my father death but had not been diagnosed prior to his death. She went to a lawyer that niether, her or my father would have used for for thier will & trust. The lawyer was well aware of her mental illness, and stated so, but continued to have her sign off on papers. She had no clue what she was doing. Right before she was diagnosed as having alzhiemers and put in the home, he had her change her will. There are six adult children, three belonging to my father and three to my step father. Is there anything that can be done? What are our options?

Re: Parents will and trust

Yes, you can challenge the will. In doing so, consider whether there are assets worth fighting over vs. the cost of the challenge.
