Q: My father left me out of his will and claimed he had no children. He left everything to friend/executor. What can I do?
In father's will, article 1 states he has no children. Then Article 3 says exclusion of pretermitted heirs and he makes no provision for any child of his other than ones mentioned in article 1. But in art 1, he lied and said no children. He knew I existed, he financially provided for me for 19 years. What can I do? Any advice or direction would be so very appreciated!
A: You need to speak with an estate lawyer immediately. It's very possible you could have rights under New Hampshire law. Act fast because there could be time limitations on your ability to challenge the will.
