How difficult is it to get a will overturned? What proof do you need to show a person was taken advantage of?

It's pretty difficult, I'd imagine. A relative of mine had Alzheimer's. She gave her daughter power of attorney but she had a will leaving her home to her grandchildren. The daughter used her power of attorney to transfer the house into her own name so when her mother died, she didn't own the house and therefore her kids couldn't inherit it.\nAnd yes, she disinherited her own children. \nHer kids didn't fight it. A long time ago, I was in her will, but I was cut out when she had her grandchildren.  I have no resentment over that, but if I had still been in her will I would have fought it. And probably lost.\nIt's frustrating not to get something you think is coming to you.  Probably call an estate lawyer. \nBut with no diagnosis of Alzheimer's, I'm not sure you'd get anywhere. But worth a try.

That really depends on you are in the time line of the litigation.  Did you oppose the lawsuit?  Has there been a trial or a judgment?  Has the the court issued a writ of possession?

go to a lawyer with the details.

This same thing happened to me once and here is what you do:\nSend them a CERTIFIED LETTER that proves that they personally signed for. This only costs 60 cents.\nTell them in the letter they have left the stuff for so many days and now you are giving them TEN DAYS to inform you that they are making an attempt to make arrangements to pick up the stuff or it will be disposed of.\nThen they can't sue you.

Its impossible, unethical and illegal for anyone here to give you specific advice without knowing what state you're talking about.  \n\nGenerally, the laws of the US say that if there is a will, then the terms of the will are controlling as to what happens.  To enforce or effectuate the will, a proceeding needs to be filed in a probate court.  This will transfer all property and allow for the administration of the estate, (including all final bills, etc)\n\nIf there is no will, then the decedent died intestate (without a will).  The laws of your state govern what is called intestate sucession.  This says who inherits and how much.  Only an attorney who is licensed in your state can advise you on how those laws will work in your case.\n\nIn MOST cases, the family can agree to deal with the estate in a very different way, but it requires some legal manuvering to do so.  \n\nIn all of the scenarios above,  you need the advice of an attorney in your state who is experienced in probate law.  If you don't have an attorney, contact your local or state bar association for a referral.

O.K., you need to tell me more details. Like what state you're in and what kind of estate you're dealing with. I work in title so I can resolve your question, I just need way more information...Was there a will, did the landowner die intestate, were there any heirs, have there been suits of use and possession filed.....too much to list, to answer this you need to start from the beginning. e-mail me and we can maybe get this resolved...Provided the will is simple heirship and the estate has no debts, the executor does not have to file.

He should have designated someone as the executor of his will. Maybe a close friend? If there is anything for you in the will, you will find out soon enough, as you have to be notified. I am so terribly sorry for your loss, and if it makes you feel better, sneak around and do what you have to do to obtain what is rightfully yours. Fight fire with fire, I say.

the executor of the estate is supposed to divie up the remains equally, i think; and that means for everything that is sold you get an equal share.  if they sold it, it doesnt matter if they already spent their portion of what they got, they still owe you your share.  you can sue them.  its a shame people act so selfishly and unethical towards each other when their parent dies.

They can protest but I believe from reading this page their attempt would most likely fail.  The will has to have physical damage or have a signature crossed out to be invalid, and if that were the case an older version of the will would be accepted, I think.

it's not fraud.  fraud requires deception and there was none here.  there was simply a lack of notification.\n\nthat is improper service and the statute of limitations depends on the state you live in.  get a lawyer and get your property back.  the alternative is to recover the value of the property.  either way, this is probably too complex for a non-attorney to handle on his/her own.

It's doubtful that you will find something like that on the internet. I have never heard of the "at least one dollar" and I have lost both parents. Your best bet is to contact the executor of the will.

Of course you could win the case in court.  The problem is collection after the judgement.  All you'll have is a legal judgement, the person can still stiff you and refuse to pay it.  I would require a form of collateral.  If your friend owns property, with a judgement you could put a lien on it so he/she couldn't sell it or even refi because the title isn't clean.  Get the letter notarized too, the notary would be another witness.  If you have any doubts, don't do it.

The old saying 'get it in writing' will probably apply here.  Otherwise, a judge will just view it as hearsay.\n\nSo, if it wasn't in writing, you will have a hard time proving a case about the refusal part, which will open the door to collect the past support.

You have to show that the decedent was not in control of their faculties when the will was signed or that it was signed under coercion or duress.\n\nIf you're just mad because Aunt Edna left her estate to the cat, you've got a fight ahead of you.

You can not, \n\nPeople can do thier own will, so only they may know about it, or close family.\n\nPeople use an attorney, so only they and their attorney will know about it.\n\nIf the will is executed ( they should normally go though probate court)  if they did, then the court will have a copy but will also insure that everyone who is suppose to get money does.\n\nIn the end, the only way to find out, is to ask family.
