Q: Informal probate
The lawyer changed the will after the fact that my aunt‘s boyfriend had died he changed it saying that my aunt only had a life estate which wasn’t true so now the family ran me out of the house and is receiving my mail and changing the beneficiary documents or changing the names on certain things That show up in the mail not to mention they took my house. What do I do and how do I go about this when I was the beneficiary for my aunt and her boyfriend as well I was the only one to live there for the last 15 years with them.
A:
If you object to the probate of the Will or appointment of the personal representative in an informal probate case, you must file a petition stating your objection with the court. A hearing will be scheduled regarding your objection, and you will be required to give notice of the hearing to the other interested parties in the case.
