Q: My father's wife filed his will at sc probate 9/18/2019. Will dated 1999.His signature is not his handwriting
His wife didn't contact me when he became ill. I came across his obituary online. She ran it in the local paper
the day of his funeral. It was listed as private. Thats how i found out he died. I went to probate and got a copy of his will
It was dated in 1999, it is not his signature on the will. He won a lawsuit in 2006 one million dollars. A couple of years
later he inherited his sisters estate, and then his brothers estate, they were large sums of money and property.
Like i said the will is a forgery. What can I do ?

A: You need to QUICKLY hire a will contest attorney to represent your interests in the probate. Do not delay. There are very tight deadlines. If you wait too long you will lose all rights to contest the will.
