Q: I need help about challanging a will
My grandmother died. My uncle said she had no will. I called the court house and she does have a will. She has an old will and a new one that was done 2 days before she died. The notary is my uncles daughter and the 2 witnesses are my uncle and his son. All are related. This is in virginia. Is this illegal?
I received an affidavit of estate. It is not notarized. My grandmother has 2 wills. One that shes had for over 50 years and a new one that was made 2 days before she died.
My father is my grandmothers son and he's deceased.
Please tell me what I can do and where I can start. Is this even worth my time?
A: It is probably not illegal, but it probably is subject to a likely successful attack, particularly if the uncle and his son are beneficiaries. You need to see a lawyer now.
