Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Washington
Release of Interest and Claims
My partner was wrote out of the Will to be alloted only $300K out of 30M in real estate. He had to sign off and release any and all interests for the future. This has been 5 years ago and the estate is still not closed. He had brought to the attention of the estate attorney and the executor his older brother that a peice of property had been previously willed to all the three children from a divorce many years prior. He now wants to call the attorneys on this matter and see if it is possible to discredit the paperwork that was signed, due to them not disclosing his right to ownership of property. There is a lot of undue influence with the case and other things that come into play, but the question is, can all of this be disputed now, or when they finally close the case. The attorneys have had a hay day with collecting money month after month for 5 years. They had the father sign paperwork on his death bed less than 48 hours of his passing. His brother and half sister withheld information from him and wouldn't allow him to see his father before he died. It goes on and on. Can we discredit this paperwork and file a claim for reconsideration from the courts?

Re: Release of Interest and Claims
This sounds like a difficult matter. If he has signed some kind of release of all his interest in the estate, it may be difficult to escape the consequences of that decision; and then overturning a will is a difficult task as well. You are going to have to talk to a lawyer to get an opinion as to whether this is possible.

It's worth a try. Often times a settlement may be reached in questionable matters in which the court may go either way. Call me directly at 16192223504.
