Wehave been together for over 10 years. About 2 years ago his cousin told his dad that I said something that was't true. His dad disowned him and changed the will to exclued my boyfriend He is an only child. We have text messages showing the decline in his dad'' mental health. We also have a police report showing that his dqd physical assulted me and have pictures of brusies. It was said that the cousin is the excutor of the will. All we k owis thatthe will will be read this week. They are not providing us with any information. Can he ask for a copy of the will? Can he contest rhe will?
A: Consult with a competent LA attorney. But boyfriend will have standing to contest the Will. But it does not sound like you have grounds for a successful Contest.
