Philadelphia, PA asked in Probate for Pennsylvania

Q: My aunt got my sickly 88yr old grandmother to give her everything in the Will a few months after grandfather died.

Everything done in secret. I would have inherited half the property since my mother died in 1984. I did not contest because the clerk at register of wills gave me wrong info and I did not have the money. This was also done in 2013. Can I still contest?

A: No , the statute of limitations is long gone. For what it's worth, will contests are very difficult and had you filed back then you might not have won.
