Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Pennsylvania

Contesting a will

My father passed 2/18/2005 at age 84. In the will, my brother is sole executor. He and I are the only siblings. A 1996 will my father had done left 75% of one stock [substantial] to my brother. Now, a will of Sept. 28, 2004, left 50% to my Brother, 25% to each of my two nephews [and none to me].

After we found a copy of the will at my dad's house, my brother told me about a 2002 will [that I didn't know about], and that he [my brother] had a copy of the 2002 and 1996 will, my dad said to copy, send to him, then destroy.

How would I [could I?] contest the will under an undue influence aspect with my brother in the 2004 version?

Re: Contesting a will

First off you need an attorney who practices in wills and estates to review each of these wills. The only will that counts is the most recent signed and dated original will!

My office also offers flat rate pricing and free consultations, for additional information please visit my firm's website at www.AlleghenyAttorneys.com or by calling my office at 412.731.0865.
