Q: Disabled husband admitted ICU, 7 weeks later revokes trust , new will executed 100% assets to daughters, now what?

Husband and I had a trust, he was receiving SSDI for impaired memory due to stroke. Our daughter was able to manipulate him and acquired POA medical and legal. after 7 weeks fighting pneumonia in hospital dies. The day after his death, I get a certified letter he had revoked our trust, and one week later I get an email from one daughter , sending a copy of the new will, leaving 100% of the assets to herself and sister, both married , and $100 dollars to me the mom. The malignant narcissistic daughter immediately files Petition to Probate and Authorization to Administer under the Independent Administrations of Estates Act. I later learn my husband was deprived food and water, to get him to a weakened state and then the ruthless daughter with POA pulled the plug, depriving him of oxygen, he went into cardiac arrest and died. Financial exploitation is also a factor because he's been giving money away for sometime without my knowledge. My daughter has a team of attorneys.
