NOTHING! IT ISNT FAIR HAT HE GETS ANYTHING! by the way my mother is deceased. you would know that if you had read carefully. i guess my question should be, "can i contest the will to have him removed?

A: Sorry, but its not YOUR will, so the decision is not up to you. If you try to convince your mom to take him out of the will or revoke his bequest, you could be asking for a lawsuit claiming you put "undue influence" on your mom. I suggest you consult an attorney and get a separate attorney for your mom.
