A: No attorney in an internet forum will be able to give you a meaningful answer to that. An examination of each will, circumstances of the making of each, interviews with the potential beneficiaries and witnesses, and maybe even handwriting experts with plenty of exemplars of your father's handwriting will likely be required to prove it in either direction. You're almost certainly going to have to retain an attorney to review the situation and advise of what you're facing. Good luck.
