Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Trinidad and Tobago
My father died in 2009 and bequeath all his property (which include two houses in seperate locations) to his second wife. One of the houses were built for his first set of lawful children, which we have occupied for several years. In previous wills this said property was bestowed to us. While he was alive a molestation case was brought against him by his second wife. He maintained his innocence claiming it was the son whom molested the down syndrome daughter. One of the other daughters had claimed she caught my father in the act, (these are children from his second marriage.) He became very sick and stressed out and was placed in the infirmary in prison. It is during this period she coerced him to make her sole beneficiary to both properties, so that the matter will be dismissed from court.The very day the will was changed the matter was dismissed. Sometime after d.n.a testing came back negative.
1. We are not sure if the will was already probated. Is there anyway of finding out. Do we have any valid grounds to contest the will?
2. Is there anyway we can view the will to find out, who were the witnesses if any. Can the lawyer who drafts a will sign as a witness.
