Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio
Slice of the pie
My dad died June 1st, and his estate is currently in probate. In his will, he stated, �for reasons only known to me, after careful consideration, that I have decided not to leave any of my estate to my son� We never really got along.
He was wealthy (I�d guess $1-2 million) and in Ohio. I live in California and have had no contact with him for the past 10 years.
I heard he died of cancer. The will was signed 3/3/98, so perhaps he was ill at the time of signing the will. His wife (20 years his junior/not my mother) is the executrix. She had 2 daughters with him.
1) Should I bother trying to get a slice of the pie?
2) Will this require flying to Ohio numerous times for arbitration? If so, about how many times?
3) Ballpark range of my expenses to hire a lawyer to get my piece of the pie?
Thank you.

Re: Slice of the pie
It is hard to give you any answers to your questions without speaking with you in person. There are hundreds of laws that pertain to the legality of a will and whether or not a person is capable of signing the will while in an altered state. I would be happy to speak with you regarding your case and what your rights are as a son. I can be reached toll free at 888-563-8529. The call and consultation are free. I look forward to your call.
