Q: probate/i believe the roommate committed fraud/the decease was n the hospital n a coma/he woke up but never the same.
the roommate first passed herself off as the wife/then fiancee n the "will" says, long time friend, if u consider/3 years long time. the "will" reads: the undersigned, each being present at the same time, witnessed the signing of this instrument by James Gonzales/at the time James g. appeared to us to be if sound mind n memory, etc. but this us a lie, they did not witness James signing anything bc the signature was written by nana Cruz. and says by nana cruz. these people are so stupied, the have his name and signature spelled wrong. James knew the correct spelling of his name n if he forgot and did sign his name wrong, would that be if sound mind? James had no immediate family n the roommate is trying to take advantage/she is listed as beneficiary along w/her ex-husband n their daughters/James had no money/there was a family residence that sold n Dec, when James was n the hospital n they think they can get that money but the brothers widower n ex wife have that money. thanku
A: It sounds like there are some serious issues with the validity of the will. You should file a will contest and a petition in probate for an intestate estate. You should hire a local attorney to represent you.
