Q: How do I contest a will?
I think my sister bullied my dad into leaving her everything when he died last month(August 2022) he had been living with her for a year and a half prior to his passing. He was one month short of 90 years old. In my opinion his mind was going. I am not sure how to categorize this. Is it probate is it family law I’m not sure. Criminal questions civil question please help. She will not return my calls so I’m not sure what is on a current will, but just the fact that she won’t return my calls leads me to believe that’s what she did. I do have a copy of a 2014 will, which I’m sure was revised when he moved in with her. . . I would like to know if I can get a copy of the will- & possibly contest the will? And if so, how do I do that? Thank you! PS if you could please lead me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate that. Have a wonderful day!
A: An Ohio attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Try reposting this in the "Probate" and "Estate Planning" sections. There's no guarantee that all posts are picked up, but you'd have better chances of a response there. Attorneys in those practice areas deal with wills. Good luck
